@dan-mackinnon Hi Dan, no worries re the "newbie" question mate.
The LTD strategy in test cricket is highly profitable but like all strategies mate you still need it to present value.
The best option is to just play the waiting game and if it comes down to somewhere around the 4.0-5.0 mark that will present better value as well as obviously protecting your bank.
The last test match was crazy and perhaps the pink ball played more than the usual role a pink ball plays.
You might hypothetically have to wait until day 2 or day 3 to get those odds but you might get them after tea on day 1.
I havent checked the odds yet but I imagine they are what close to 9?
Other opportunities will present themselves before a LTD most likely and even if it doesn't happen for this test you will see plenty of opportunities with other tests this year to use it to build your bank.
I hope that helps.I should add also if the team who bats first makes a good start it will come in most likely organically.

Is it worth laying the draw in the India vs Eng test? It's quite high right now, but the last one was wrapped up in 2 days. The difference this time is that it won't be day/night and would probably expect both teams to be more cautious. A draw would also suit India.
Apologises for the newbie questions but I've never LTD with cricket and it seems quite a high liability right now to be wrapped up for potentially 5 days. Looking under the "strategies" section of BTC it said odds would usually be around 3.0-4.0

There is something cathartic, about sticking to your strategies and not panicking and
watching a big Red, turn into just a small green by sticking to what you know works for you.
Just experienced that in the Karachi match. -
@martin-futter there is certainly enough to keep us going.

@nathan-bennett managed a 1.47 lay of Zim out to 1.94 now and looking for Afghanistan to put the foot on the throat.

LAY ZIM will again if get 1.4.s
-
@babar-malik there is no rush mate. You do not have to lay it at the start of the test.
Pitches in the UAE tend to be pretty flat from the outset and do not offer much for the bowling side before they start to turn.
With no Rashid Khan, and free to air TV in Zimbabwe for the first time in a decade Zim will want to put up a good show. If whoever bats first bats well that draw price will come into something very layable. -
I welcome the rest day after a really busy Monday for me
Don’t know if I should lay the draw in Afghanistan v Zimbabwe. The price is pretty high @James-Woodroffe -
PSL match postponed till tomorrow which was meant to be a rest day. Afghanistan v Zimbabwe 1st test live on Free Sports tomorrow also from 6am. Free Sports have signed a 3 year contract to show all cricket involving either Afghanistan or Zimbabwe. Great news.
-
@babar-malik it was Fawad Alam and he played in their match on Saturday and nobody else has tested positive. The cynic in me says another false positive from the much maligned PCR testing system but yeah he will be fine.
-
@James-Woodroffe Thanks for the update James. Hope the poor chap is alright. Game on at 4pm then. Best of luck
-
Todays PSL match has had the start delayed by 2 hours following a positive result for the Rona from a United player.
-
@babar-malik yeah mate always best to give it a couple of overs to just let things settle. Crazy league that T20 in SA I’ve found it super hard to gauge but loving the PSL at the moment.
-
What a game between Lions and Dolphins today. I learned a valuable lesson. Never start a trade in the first over. I am still in the testing phase, so I don't mind losing a few at the moment. Overall, the strategy of laying low and backing high has been working well for me. Looking to see regular green moments in the future.
-
I think and it’s just a hunch Guyana might struggle to get close to 363 but who knows.

Mixed day on the PSL. Cut my profit short on the first match cause I forgot breakfast so locked in some green cause I was getting Hangry and vagueing out then United crashed and burned posting only 117 in the 2nd match. Every time I reentered thinking they’d get something going they’d lose a wicket. Ended 3 points Red for the day.
Had a kick of the Sherrin with junior (he’s so English) and will monitor the Super 50 final tonight. Hoping for a good match. -

Surely this will be one of the shortest Test matches ever.
Having spent a lot of time in Ahmedabad I can see the appeal of getting out of there, but they're stuck there for another test match.
Couldn't they just start the next one tomorrow?
