Triple boom
-
2-2 Roach on
-
@richard-futter managed to get roughly the same mate just after the toss. I don’t rate their two openers at all.
-
Got to have a little lay of Pakistan at 1.9. Far too short on the evidence of the first Test.
-
Windies win toss and will bowl. No Hope but Joseph is back.
-
Maybe a no go on Hope. Interesting
-
been scalping draw 2 tick re cycle showing some green . think pak odds bounce around 5-10 ticks on the toss for another scalp .
another nail bitter be great
-
That 4.10 in
would have been lovely to jump on now that the weather looks good for today. Not to be tho hopefully it shortens inside the first hour. Pakistan odds on and the Windies look set to bring back Shai Hope for Powell which for me makes good sense. Will be interesting to see what the toss winners decide. Hopefully it’s another great match. -
@luke-weston stuck at work so missed out, looks pretty one sided. I agree with WIvPak as LTD, might see if it comes in a little
-
@kevin-gedny I've just turned on at the halfway stage. Durham chasing 296 but still at 1.5 seems like a straightforward lay while seeing what happens in the first 10 overs.
West Ind v Pak Sabina Park again, 4.1 LTD. Can't believe there won't be a result in this one.

Royal London Cup final today and I’m struggling to get much of a read on it. I think this might be a wait and see day.

@doug-sharp reckon you always have to do what makes you comfortable

Honesty post
Well done guys on the trading , I traded both games I layed Pakistan and the draw on Eng vs Ind. I managed to end up Finishing evens!!! Luckily
I went to Chessington park with the family Sunday got home and WI need 15 runs with 1 wicket left .....= WI win £50+ or Lose £30 liability Loss or just take the -£12.50 hit in the red And get out
, I got out and took the -£12 hit which as I’ve slowly learned we’re traders not gamblers and it was easier to stomach than losing £30...
Off course WI closed it out and tail Enders did a great job to win but as we know Sod’s law it could have gone the other way.I put the £18 into eng game and luckily traded it up to nearly get my £12 back (11.58). Phew
Great cricket but learned hopefully for the 100th and last time don’t trade when you can’t see the action.....

@Kevin-Gedny and @luke-Weston awesome to hear guys that it went well for you both. They were ripping tests to trade and with the rescheduled IPL. and T20 world cups also just around the corner it’s going to be a big 2nd half of the year for cricket trading.

@kevin-gedny Well done! Me too. I had the opportunity to take some green in the WI test but didn't. Still 0.3 points profit but should have been more (1+) if I hadn't left a trade too long. 3 points on Eng v Ind after 2pts on the Trent Bridge test. Starting to pick up on some of the nuance, and definitely need to green out more. Carried that lesson onto the 100 tonight and it worked out well. Looking forward to next week's Test Matches. I'm in the Western Terrace at Headingley for the first time next Thursday, so not much trading, but looking forward to the Cricket.

First time trading two test matches at the same time, albeit helped by the time zones. I ended up 0.95 points on Eng/Ind and 5.75 points on WI/Pak.
Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and definitely have some learning points about when to enter a trade, particularly laying the draw. I did realise the importance of making multiple smaller trades.
Roll on the next matches and more chances to learn.
-
Only the second time in Test history a side has won when declaring after lunch on the final day. Ignominy for England.
-
What an amazing match. Need true heroics from Anderson and Wood now.
-
Shuffled the green around now between the draw and a India win will just let it play out now.
