Yum, Yum .. Galle ..

18 Tests, in last 10 yrs, and 3 draws. Invariably, weather forecast is thunderstorms, invariably draw trades shorter, and usually, layers get the money.

Ground staff do a great job protecting the ground, and spin sometimes does the rest.

Sri lanka 9.0

India 1.9

Draw 2.94

Draw already seen some trades at 2.0 (game starts in 2 days).

Small position for now, and will trade with 5x smaller bank, as not on hand, to review weather.

In the 5 mins since the post, the mkt has seen some inspired draw backing.

Now :

Sl 7.4

India 1.83

Draw 3.0

These mkts are v flimsy .. I would look to back draw 3.3+, and lay 2.5x. (if possible).

Thanks for the insights megarain... I made a few pounds following you on the ladies game and was surprised at the volatility in the market. Being scottish my knowledge of cricket is limited to say the least but maybe this will prompt me to start following the game more closely - give or take the difficulty of finding a team to support!
