Long term Is it best to lay Pak or the draw? Cheeky side trade after greening up listening to advice and held on and not trading out, I've put a few on backing WI @32's incase it shortens with a couple quick wickets
-
This is great
Hopefully get to lay PAK 1.3’s or lower when WI bat next time round for some swings
Day 5 markets best -
Shaheen Shah Afridi on absolute

Lovely little session and no rain on the horizon by the looks of things. Draw price has come in again to almost odds on. Lovely lay at 1.19 before hitting around 2.40. Should be a fascinating afternoon session and would not be at all surprised if Pakistan open with Babar and Rizwan as they look to score quickly. Still looking at 158 overs approximately in the test.
Draw drifting out since post lovely.
-
70 overs left today but won't get that many in. 60 is probably a push because WI won't be in a rush to bowl their overs. Hopefully Pak will roll the tail quickly then runs and wickets should both send the Draw in the right direction. No dots please.

Checked the score as I was leaving Waitrose and decided I would Hedge out and back the draw/Lay Pak when I got home. Opened up the laptop and WI 7 down. Bonus!
-
Boom boom boom, Pakistan never in doubt
-
annoying time slot this for me . what ever happens today chance we could see these draw odds day 5 or worst case not far from current ...
Laying some 1.3's and getting this trade out at 1.8's
Batsmen to reset not always easy early
And would very likely green up all if happened to get to 4's and get ready for ENG INDYou'd have to think PAK would need 240+ lead styles with atleast a very minimum 50-40 overs to try bowl WI out tmr after lunch
so today
ideally req WI rolled before tea under around 200 -
Looking at various forecasts there is a chance (50%) of rain between 12 and 4. Play should start on time (half an hour early). Hopefully see some early wickets otherwise I will be hoping for rain and a significant wet patch on the bowlers run up to try and catch some movement in the opposite direction.

Morning all, what’s everyone’s views on today then? It’s all about the first hour for me, weather looks good as much as I can reasonably know so hopefully we get the early start today, we need wickets that’s for sure!
-
See draw dipped 1.2’s
Spew didn’t take advantage
Anyway more poles req -
Hopefully Pak can get a few early wickets
-
@doug-sharp I’ve had some crazy draw lays at super short odds before because gamblers make assumptions that traders don’t. I’d hold fire for a while mate and see what today brings. That rain from yesterday could now well be gone so let’s just just see.
-
@Tom @James-Woodroffe I'd layed @3.5 i was it when it dropped 1.19 but its up a little.
Thought of backing PAK win as it'll shorten I think a WI is out the window unless they get pak out for less than a 100. -
@doug-sharp where did you lay? I’m holding mine, still plenty of time and Pakistan could declare today
-
@doug-sharp mate I wouldn’t necessarily go and trade out that draw lay just yet. I’d give it a bit. I’d wait a little while just to see how today unfolds. There is still a lot of cricket to be played and this 40 minutes to sort the run ups out “should” be enough. Pakistan are still going along ok and the new ball is due in only 5 overs.
-
My trade is a complete mess, only hope is to cash out on lay draw and put it into pak at 6 and hopefully it'll shorten when play resumes
-
Lunch...
-
How is everyone’s patience levels going now with this latest stop in play?
-
5 overs until the new ball, lets see some action before it rains again!
