BTC Cricket Trading Thread
-
Complete lack of respect for fans who have spent their hard earned cash to hear sympathies being expressed to players. Test could have been delayed if players were willing to sacrifice a couple of IPL fixtures. Another nail in the test cricket coffin.
-
BBC reported that India have had to concede so officially 2-2
-
wonder if series punters been shafted
has it officially ended 2-2 ?
-

I had just backed the draw at 2.6 just before it exploded up to 3.6 and was wondering why it was going up so quick! Greened out, and market now suspended. Will prematch trading be voided?
-
so what money being traded here then laundaring of sorts ?

ECB official statement test is cancelled, what a bummer.
-
@matt-ayles I might have a look at the T20’s if I can find decent pictures
-
Get to work and sky sports news breaking that the 5th test is called off. Guess there'll be no cricket for me today then!
-
Sky sports headline is that it’s cancelled
-
Lots of rumours of no play today, draw dropped right down to 2.1 and now drifting
The weather forecast is looking better and better the closer we get, heading off to Manchester soon so will swing by Old Trafford for best weather update, assuming no official news comes in of postponing play today
-
I have been riding the draw wave yesterday and today. Nice bit of green to start the match. Beady eye on the weather tomorrow!
-
India have cancelled training today due to a positive covid test in the coaching staff.
-
Some decent money in queue wanting to back the draw . Tmr if the covers are on surely close in close to odds on
-
@chris-osborne I hadn't expected him to be available for selection I couldn't see him wanting to travel. There are some great players hopefully it will be a good competition.
-
@clare-taylor No real surprises for me, Ben Stokes not being available is massive but something's are far more important
-
T20 World Cup squad has been announced. Anyone got any thoughts?
I'm looking forward to seeing Livingstone and hope Malan lives up to his reputation.
-
I'm loving the lay of the draw again at Old Trafford. Looking at both the BBC and Met Office forecasts, there will be rain but not nearly enough to justify draw odds of 2.5.
Only one of the last 12 matches in Manchester has ended in a draw - although, admittedly, only one of those was in September - and with India facing Covid issues, we could easily see another England bounceback.
Australia are the only visiting side to have won there since 2001, and a draw is useless to England. They have to be proactive and press for a result. I don't see Kohli setting out to draw the match either and - barring two days of rain - I'll be amazed if the draw price doesn't trade at least double it's current price.
I won't be laying beforehand though, as it always pays to see the lie of the land tomorrow morning when the price could easily dip in with early rain or a decent opening stand.
It will certainly be worth keeping a weather eye on the rain radar.

Draw price nice could free roll 3.3-2.3 see how deep it goes when play starts
