People overrate the weather imho. Follow crunchyfrog on twitter and lay the draw.
I disagree with that. I remember losing £400 on a trade after not paying attention to weather forecasts - I looked at the scores and saw there were 3 days left, and happily layed the draw thinking the match would definitely get a conclusion. I overlooked there being a virtual monsoon for 2 days, where play was competely wiped out.

Those listening to the forecasts took me to the cleaners
Follow crunchyfrog , lay the draw and watch the weather forecast :D If you do that for a year and still lose money then something has gone very wrong.

Another decent session of test ckt. Match is well poised,
And ripe for volatility.

At lunch, windies 5.0 sort of appeals, as new ball will be taken.

Am laying draw sub 5.0, and buying back, on wkts.

Be interesting to see the Windies tactics today - they don't strike me as a team that will play for a draw. If there's a total needed, their DNA is to go for it

Overcast, but no rain in Leeds.

Jimmy will love this, and it will spin as well.

I always like to be with bowlers on day 5. This is just gravy.

Why would u think that ?

If bowlers have best conditions, they will take wkts, and draw becomes less likely.

I backed eng, and have continued to do so.. thou, admit was getting twitchy.

Wi 49-1

Eng 1.39 (been 1.7)

Can I ask are you still backing England? Can't watch the game and thinking possible draw becoming likely?
