Lost a good green on this match. Backed the Sri Lankans fairly heavily at the start of their innings based on some twitter chat and boredom. Silly mistake but managed to get out at break even. A good lesson to learn. I have probably had a 'lucky' run in my short cricket trading hobby so far so in a way it's good to have a reality check.

I nearly ended up being shafted by Lanka earlier when I was weighted on them and they then collapsed. I'm not 100% certain that they weren't playing to a script.

Have never heard of someone botting the cricket; are there those that do it ?

Full automation not semi-automated e.g. no user input based on teams playing / stats

Yes but not myself, I just don't have that knowledge at this point, aside from tick offset tool which is a big part of my trading.

thanks, will look into it

Anyone got a position in Pakistan v South Africa?

I laid Pakistan after their 4th or 5th wicket but in their annoyingly usual style continued to put up a good fight into the second half of their lineup. Could just be weak SA bowling but I wouldn't know as I haven't watched many SA games.

Recovered to break even backing SA at their high so was happy with that. Still the market didn't adjust as much as I thought it would, rightly so I think because now SA will have an extra 100 runs to chase on top of their total.

Any ideas what the SA batting lineup looks like? I didn't see their first innings.

Pakistan will be batting last on a rapidly deteriorating pitch.

Will wait and see if an obvious entry point appears.

I was in the green from day 1 but lost it all and then some yesterday laying pakistan. My theory was the same as yours, even if they got a 50 run 1st innings lead they still had to bat last on the pitch. But they held out well. I got out last night anyway.

Will be looking to lay the draw tonight if saffas put on a decent partnership

Not great here

Draw price getting interesting again... (5.3 atm)

[Emmson]

Its a very sweet feeling when your red on all outcomes turns green on all outcomes, superb partnership by Markram & Rassie especially well played the early stages when under severe pressure.

[Emmson]

Incredible journey the draw has already been on and lord knows where its going to end up.

Pak, Saffers, Draw

Game has took another savage turn, 3 quick wickets does that.

[Barrakee]

What did the draw get down to. I laid it a bit around an hour before the end of play and was planning to lay some more this morning but I have woken up to 3 quick wickets

I think it hit 3.2 or thereabouts. I got on at 3.7 then went to bed and woke up with a nice green wasn't expecting 3 quick wickets but not complaining!

Got the raw stadium feed for the Scorchers BB match tonight and have a friend at the ground who Facetimed me a few balls, the 'fast' feed is around 3.5 seconds behind live. Foxtel is about 8-8.5 seconds behind. Obviously any advantage is good but you are still a looooong way behind the pitchsiders.

[Emmson]

Good reminder that BB game to know what the playing conditions are like.

YIKES!

In a T10 in the desert Lendl Simmons was 0 off 7

T10 is tradeable in fact it might be easier than T20
