pitch in Bristol looks quite fast. Might be good for the opening batting team Hampshire

Quite frustrating the blast this year. Many TV games being beaten by the rain

Sacrificed US racing just to sit and wait for a match to start!

I've just heard the R5L commentator say Northampton can't win if they don't get wickets??

Can anyone clarify the T20 rules - is the winner the team with the most runs or are the number of wickets lost relevant?

It was Durham v Worcs .......if that was an Asian fixture they would be screaming fix all over social media. A catastrophic unravelling by Durham.

Can anyone explain this please? Worcester wins by 5 wickets rather than 1 run?

How it's possible to scalp 6-10 ticks during the innings break is beyond me. You'd think one of the teams is having a punch-up between themselves!

It's an intuitive thing, after doing it several hundred or even thousands of times you develop a good sense of where to place your bets. Between innings is where the corrections occur, in-play prices are often not efficient.

I think you've misunderstood my post, I was questioning why it's so easy. :)

I can't remember what match I was scalping but I was laying and backing a team 6 ticks apart at least, and the bets were quickly getting matched. Since then though, I got hammered in the T20 Somerset match yesterday so I'm still finding my feet with cricket.
