Today's Cricket
Tonights game was the most straightforward 100 game I've seen. 31 million matched is pretty good.
Like it or lump it the 100 is here to stay. It hasn't been a flop and more overseas stars will be available in future years.

I played the draw both ways! I layed it at 1.70 yesterday expecting to take a profit just because of the ebb and flow of a test match. Those backing the draw at that price just don't understand what the 4th innings on the 5th day of a test match entails! I closed out at 5+ yesterday evening. Then when I saw the weather forecast early this morning and saw 5 was still available I opened a new back position. Don't these people realise that they don't play in the wet and if there is limited play a draw becomes more likely. I closed the back at 2.30 around 11 this morning. Frankly I felt today was a day when mug punters showed themselves for what they are (not you Emmson, you are my cricket hero! ) I've hardly dabbled with cricket though it is my favourite sport ... must get in and use my understanding of the game more often.
May I ask Emmson, do you actively trade, scalping and/or swinging ( unintended pun!) or do you look to take positions as I did?

All of that days 1-4 but none/zero today as I knew I could be left high and dryfirlandsfarm wrote: ↑Sun Aug 08, 2021 4:30 pmI played the draw both ways!

"They don't compare to anything I've faced in my career," Christian said. "These are as difficult conditions as I've seen for T20 cricket - 120 is like 190, it's an extremely difficult place to try and bat. We've seen all the spinners and even the seamers, as soon as they start bowling slower balls it's really, really hard work. It's holding in the surface, gripping and turning and it's a big ground as well. It's certainly been different cricket but in terms of getting into rhythm or any kind of flow it's been pretty hard.
Having viewed most of this Bangers Aus T20 series I heartily agree
