T20 - S.Africa v Pakistan - Wanderers

Wet season .. with some heavy stuff,  falling over the weekend, and later in the evening, most nights.

Earlyish start, may help get a game, but, CMM 1.5+ and rising .. looks right.

/////////////////////////

Didnt rain at all, yesterday, and thou its fractionally more overcast today, think the game will be fine.

CMM currently, 1.31

T20 - India v Australia - Rajkot

A great match-up .. 2 v high class teams.

Maybe India a little stronger on paper ..

Pre-toss, India 1.67 .. India win toss, and decide to field.

India 1.69

Aus run line, about 165

No Clarke or Warner for Aus, as expected .. Some really new players for Aus .. Putting pressure on established players.

Champions League T20 - Highveld Lions v Perth Scorchers

They had the toss (won by Lions), and the heavens opened.

Not hopefull.

Lions 1.50, from 1.88

CMM is 1.03 No .. was 1.20 Yes, 30 mins before game, which, was probably wrong ..

Cooked .. another game later, but groundsman, says he wants 4 hrs, once it stops raining, to get the
ground fit.

Gonna watch some TV.

Champions league T20 - Chennai Super Kings v Titans

IPL team versus pretty average S.African team .. u would think all the money will be for Chennai, and MS Dhoni

Pre toss, Chennai, 1.50

Chennai win the toss, field, and the money tide starts .. Chennai, 1.43

Price goes back to 1.48 at the start ..

Titans bat .. 1st ball, a v strong LBW turned down ..

Titans 8-0 after 1, CSK 1.59

Titans 10-0 after 2, CSK 1.55

I am long on runs over 140, and have backed Titans

Titans 15-0 after 3, CSK 1.55

Titans 21-0 after 4, CSK 1.55

Price holding in place, on avg start .. some quick runs, I would back Titans more ..

Titans 22-0 after 5, CSK 1.46 .. good over, and pressure mounting .. cant back Titans yet

Titans 33-0 after 6, CSK 1.50 .. mkt so wants to be with CSK, its pointless backing Titans .. can wait ..

Wkt - insane run-out .. 46-1, after 7, CSk 1.46

Titans 56-1 after 8, CSk 1.60 .. price is an insult to Titans ..

Titans 64-1 after 9, CSK 1.70 .. have to back Titans (again)

Titans 72-1 after 10, CSK 1.78 .. still wrong .. I would make CSK 1.95

Titans 86-1 after 11, CSK 1.93 ...

Titans 100-1 after 12, Titans Fav ,,, 1.70 .. Got great book ...

Titans 116-1 after 13, Titans 1.54

Titans 125-2 after 14, Titans 1.65 .. taken some profit, but with Titans

Titans 135-2 after 15, Titans 1.55 ..

Titans 146-2 after 16, Titans 1.46  .. run line of 150, almost hit ..

Titans 154-2 after 17, Titans 1.54  .. fair price, if your are not involved ..

Wkt - 154-3 after 17.1 .. 1.58

Wkt - 154-4 after 17.3 .. 1.71  .. ABDev still in ..

Titans 161-4 after 18, Titans 1.62   .. hoping for 179 ...

Wkt - ABdev goes .. 77 from 36 ..

Titans 179-5 after 19, Titans 1.50

Titans 185-5 .. poor last over, shows u how great AB Dev is .. Mkt makes Titans 1.61 .. I make em, 1.4 or so.

Have a big position on Titans, but, can well see mkt flipping .. such is the CSK love .. Req rate 9.3 ..

Heres the reply ..

Wkt - CSK 6-1, Titans 1.48

Light go out again .. at Stadium ..

CSK 9-1 after 1, Titans 1.50

CSK 14-1 after 2, Titans 1.51 .. ball needs to be pitched up .. can see this mkt, loving boundaries ..

CSk 27-1 after 3, Titans 1.75, after hitting 1.81 .. will take profit, if they hit 2.00

Lol .. 1 ball later .. gone flat ..

6,1,4,4  and price decimated to 1.56 CSK ..

CSK 51-1 after 4, CSK 1.44 .. gone flat, but, left a lot of profit out there ..

CSK 65-1 after 5, CSK 1.26 .. at least I bailed at a reasonable price ..

CSK 73-1 after 6, CSK 1.22 ..

16 wides so far, in 6.2 overs .. pretty poor ..

CSK 86-1 after 7, CSK 1.11

Wkt 95-2 after 7.5, CSK 1.17

CSK 95-2 after 8, CSK 1.21 .. commentator called this over, before prev wkt .. bold call !!

Wkt CSK 114-3 after 10, CSK 1.13 after being 1.04

CSK 119-3 after 11, CSK 1.12

CSK 131-3 after 12, CSK 1.03

CSK 142-3 after 13, CSK 1.02

Looks done .. have to give lotsa props to the mkt, as it judged just how hard it would be to bowl properly, with the dew. Even so, 19 extras, is, just a joke.

Had a small win ..

Champions League T20 - Brisbane Heat v Trinidad & Tobago

Heat win the toss, and shorten from 1.93, to 1.67.

Amazing how much teams move early .. I think it's a bit too much, and have a small position with TT.
Run spread is a low, 137

TT 10-0 after 1 over, and Brisbane 1.74

Not much of a move, some small swing, but, have laid Brisbane more.

TT 14-0 after 2, Brisbane 1.80

That's working ok .. TT hit another 4, and price moves 10 ticks

Wkt - 28-1 after 3 overs .. Wkt on last ball of the over Heat 1.91

Wkt - also last ball of over

TT 37-2 after 4, Brisbane 1.70

Wkt - 38-3 after 4.4 TT disintegrating, Heat 1.41

TT 38-3 after 5, Brisbane 1.37 .. Bailed for small loss .. Unlucky - had decent green, but didn't take it.

TT 55-3 after 8, Brisbane 1.43

TT 66-3 after 9, Brisbane 1.55

Have relaid Heat .. Think this price is low enough.

Wkt - 71-4 - Heat 1.41

Wkt - 2 in 2, 71-5 - Heat 1.28

Doing my absolutes ...

TT 71-5 after 11, Heat 1.30

TT 73-5 after 12, Heat 1.29

TT 77-5 after 13, Heat 1.27

Doesn't look enough, thou their bowling is good. Need 130 at least, for half a game.

Wkt - 83-6 after 14, Heat 1.20

TT 97-6 after 15, Heat 1.32

TT 102-6 after 16, Heat 1.35 .. Which seems a good price, but, another 30 runs from 4, and it might be a game.

TT 110-6 after 17, Heat 1.37

Wkt - 114-7 after 17.3 .. Heat 1.31

Wkt - 115-8 after 17.5 .. Heat 1.27

TT 116-8 after 18, Heat 1.27 Ramdin still at crease, but, they need 20 more ..

Wkt - Ramdin goes .. This is history Heat 1.16

TT 119-9 after 19, Heat 1.15

TT 135-9 after 20, Heat 1.27 .. 15 - 20 runs short u would think.

Heat 3-0 after 1, Heat 1.36

Heat 8-0 after 2, Heat 1.38

Wkt - 10-1 after 2.3, Heat 1.65

Heat 10-1 after 3, Heat 1.62

Heat 17-1 after 5, Heat 1.73 .. good bowling so far, shuda waited ..

Heat 22-1 after 6, Heat 1.81

Heat 27-1 after 7, Heat 1.96 .. run rate escalating ..

Heat 31-2 after 7.4 TT favs, 1.60

Floodlight failure .. -  Market Mayhem ..

TT crash to 1.39 .. Heat behind Run-Rate, and D/L will help TT

Floodlight starts up .. Heat 1.53

Heat 31-2 after 8, TT 1.52 .. Req Rate 8.60

Heat 40-2 after 9, TT 1.54

Heat 47-2 after 10, TT 1.56

Heat 51-2 after 11, TT 1.60

Heat 64-2 after 12, Heat  1.98

Champions LeagueT20 - Mumbai Indians v Rajastan Royals

First game proper, of the Tournment,

Rain before the start, and a slight delay.

Rajastan win a v good toss, and have shortened from 2.24 to 1.90.

They elected to bowl, on a pitch, which should help seamers.

 

Mumbai 5-0 after 1, Mumbai 2.00

Wkt - Mumbai 9-1 after 1.4, Rajastan 1.81

Mumbai 9-1 after 2, Rajastan 1.77

Mumbai 18-1 after 3, Rajastan 1.92

Mumbai 20-1 after 4, Rajastan 1.88

Mumbai 26-1 after 5, Rajastan 1.78

Wkt - 26-2 after 5.1, Rajastan 1.61

Mumbai 31-2 after 6, Rajastan 1.64

 

You can see why the lumpers switched favs, once the toss was known, looks a hard surface to bat on, wkts look likely ...

 

Mumbai 36-2 after 7, Rajastan 1.66 .. Laid Rajastan, small.

Wkt - Tendulkar goes .. Mumbai 38-3 after 7.2 .. Rajastan 1.52

Mumbai 43-3 after 8, Rajastan 1.50

Wkt - run-out, Mumbai 43-4 after 8.1, Rajastan 1.36

Mumbai 47-4 after 9, Rajastan 1.41

Mumbai 53-4 after 10, Rajastan 1.41

Mumbai 55-4 after 11, Rajastan 1.38

Mumbai 70-4 after 13, Rajastan 1.41

Mumbai 74-4 after 14, Rajastan 1.41

Mumbai 115-5 after 18, Rajastan 1.47

Mumbai 130-5 after 19, good knock from Pollard (42), Rajastan 1.52

Wkt - Pollard next ball .. 1.39

Mumbai finish on 142 .. Prob 15 runs short, but. Tricky pitch.

 

Here's the reply.

 

Rajastan 5-0 after 1, Rajastan 1.43

Wkt - Dravid goes early, 5-1 Rajastan 1.67 ..

Back to my entry price .. Gonna wait a bit ..

Rajastan 6-1 after 2, Rajastan 1.63

Disgraceful LBW not given .. Umpires !!

Johnson bowling great, he's really improved his game.

Rajastan 18-1, after 3, umpire changed the game .. Rajastan 1.47

Rajastan 22-1 after 4, Rajastan 1.50

Rajastan 27-1 after 5, Rajastan 1.52

Rajastan 37-1 after 6, Rajastan 1.38

Rajastan 43-1 after 7, Rajastan 1.39

Rajastan 56-1 after 8, Rajastan 1.19

Rajastan 60-1 after 9, Rajastan 1.18

Rajastan 69-1 after 10, Rajastan 1.14

 

No real pressure being exerted, u would think Rajastan would have to give this away now.

Rajastan 68-1 after 11, Rajastan 1.11

Wkt - 79-2 .. Rajastan 1.16

Rajastan 81-2 after 12, Rajastan 1.18 need 62 from 48

Rajastan 91-2 after 13, Rajastan 1.11

 

Rajastan won easily .. The LBW may have changed the dynamic, but, they won v easy.

Lost £450

2nd T20 - England v N.Zealand - Oval

 

I don't like to be negative .. Honestly, and went to this game, despite not having a ticket.

I got there at a few minutes past start time, having studied the weather patterns all day, and though play, was at the best, 'iffy' , and most likely, would be severely interrupted.

I got there, (having been given a ticket), to see I had missed all the action - such as it was .. 2 balls, and England were 0-1.

Then, light drizzle forced the players to leave, and despite some efforts from all concerned, play never resumed.

In my view, they went off, a fraction early, but, that was unlucky.

I could not really fault the Oval .. They tried, but, where once again, they were poor, was in communication to the Public.

The PA system, is just impossible to hear, at least in the OCS stand .. And I asked 6 people on the tube after, where they sat, and if they could hear the PA, and all said, No.

Is it so hard, for them to actually improve this .. They have done well in most other areas ..

Not sure .. Ponting/Tendulkar, doesn't really frighten me ..have re-laid Mumbai

Heres the reply ..

Ponting opening with Tendulkar ..

Mumbai 2-0 after 1 over, Mumbai 1.74 .. mkt still has em, a few tick short, but, understandable.

Mumbai 4-0 after 2 overs, Mumbai 1.83 .. looks right

Mumbai 23-0 after 4 overs, Mumbai 1.53 .. missed 1.7x, took 1.68 ..

IPL 2013 .. 77 Games .. in a decent time slot

So, the carnival is back in town.

Chennai are worthy favourites at 5.0 ..

Am hoping liquidity on Betdaq will be decent .. I will try and market-make, but, will miss the 1st few games, with travel/horse-racing commitments.

Will keep a daily blog of the games .. with some P/L pics.

2nd T20 - S.Africa v Pakistan - Centurion

 

Short boundaries ..

Pakistan win the toss and bat.

S.Africa 1.66. Looks v short to me.

 

S.African bowlers .. Tsotsobe, Peterson, Kleinveldt, Abbott,Morris.

Morris got big IPL contract, lets see how he handles the pressure.

 

S.African batters, ABD, David's,Faff, Ontong, Behardien.

 

Hardly strikes fear into anyone's heart.

 

Wow .. Pakistan score almost 200, and rout S.Africa.

I was v busy trading this game, and called it almost perfect.

S.africa are a v average T20 side, and only a little better, as an ODI side.

The prices were wrong, at least IMHO, and took advantage.

Wet T20 Durban

Doesn't look promising ..

90 mins before start ..

1 poor super sopper, and fine to heavy non-stop rain, meant this game was doomed from v early on.

Umpires came out, but, u get he feeling, it's for PR only.

Game thankfully called off, 2 hrs before final cut-off, as field would have been impossible to get right.

2nd game of the series, is in Pretoria on Sunday .. Lets hope the rain, doesn't get there.

Scheduled for this Friday .. (in 3 days time), and weather already looking dodgy.

CMM has game at 1.30, in a thin mkt ..

Durban have lost losta games, over the last yr, and this would be another disappointment.

Pre-game, S.Africa are rightly favs, as Pakistan are a bit unknown.



S.Africa 1.60

Pakistan 2.60


Watching racing from Durban .. no rain last 24 hrs, and baking hot .. 37c or so .. which is probably the problem, as the heat will cause the thunderstorms, later in the week.


Now Friday morning :

CMM

Yes (there will be a game) 1.83 offerred ..

No ( no activity)

Readers who got the jump, can book profits, or, hold on .. its raining in Durban.

Will post pics on Blog.

Will no longer post them on twitter, just links.

Big Bash Semi - Perth Scorchers v Melbourne Stars - Perth

2nd Semi-final .. Little bit overcast

Scorchers win the toss, and elect to field

Scorchers 1.71

Run line for Stars - 148



Hussey plays for Scorchers, with Marsh/Gibbs to open.



Have to back Scorchers, at 1.71



Nice move into 1.62 at game time.



Avg score batting 1st - 149



Stars 8-0 after 1, Scorchers 1.72

Stars 16-0 after 2, Scorchers 1.76. .. Bailing for loss ...

Stars 24-0 after 3, Scorchers 1.94 .. Have taken hit, with Stars now.

Stars 37-0 after 4, Stars fav 1.78 .. Book Red ..

Wkt - Wright - 16 from 12, Scorchers 1.84 ... Sigh ..

Stars - 40-1 after 5, Scorchers 1.69 .. Bigger Red book now ..

Stars 46-1 after 6, Scorchers 1.78 .. Few drops of rain, but shouldn't affect game.

Stars 53-1 after 7, Scorchers 1.83 .. Still with Stars 1.85 avg

Stars 58-1 after 8, Scorchers 1 87

Stars 63-- after 9, Scorchers 1.77 .. Fair base, but need to kick on .. white not playing big shots .. Dunno why, they have extra batters.

Stars 69-1 after 10, scorchers 1.71 .. Good bowling ..

Stars 81-1 after 11, poor over by Hogg, Stars fav 1.92 ..

Stars 96-1 after 12, Stars fav, 1.73 .. Can get out with profit.. So, reducing

Rain getting harder ...

Stars 106-1 after 13, Stars 1.68. .. Still with stars .. 1.98 avg

Huge over 26 - Hogg bowling v poorly .. Maybe ball hard to grip, with rain.

Stars 132-1 after 14, Stars 1.29 .. Got v nice book

Stars 150-1 after 15, Stars 1.18 .. Hope they get 200 ..

Play suspended at 15.2 overs ..



If they don't come back, target will be 57 off 5, 111 off 10, 163 off 15

18 over game now :



D/L will Prob add 5 runs to score, Scorchers will lose 1 over of Power Play

Stars 1.15

Wickets lost in next 2.4 balls, irrelevant to wkts lost.



Wkt - White - 88 from 53, 159-2 after 15.3 .. Stars 1.18

Stars 162-2 after 16, Stars 1.19

Stars 173-2 after 17, Stars 1.19

Stars finish on 183 from 18, Stars 1.19



D/L needs some work. If it was. 5 over chase, it would be 56 or so, that can't be fair to a side, that has scored 10 an over, for 18.

If they dont come back, chase will be : 56 in 5, 109 in 10, 158 in 15.

Adjusted score, 187

Rain still around, maybe reduced overs ..

17 overs .. , but, covers back, .. If they don't get back on, Scorchers will go thru to final .. Which, would be sick.



139 off 13, looks like new target.

3 overs of power play



Here we go



Scorchers 5-0 after 1, Stars 1.23 .. Short enuf, will take some profit.

Scorchers 15-0 after 2, Stars 1.32. .. Gibbs does Hamstring .. No runner

Gibbs delaying game, and Warne not happy, as he wants game to get going.

Scorchers 23-0 after 3, Stars 1.25 .. Gibbs stays on .. Gone flat

Gibbs retried hurt - 6 off 5, Stars 1.21

Wkt - Coulter-Nile 0 from 1, Stars 1.13

Scorchers 27-1 after 4, Stars 1.11 .. Still flat .

Scorchers 38-1 after 5, so we have a match .. Stars 1.10

Scorchers 65-1 after 6, Scorchers fav 1.86

Scorchers 77-1 after 7, Scorchers 1.81 .. Shaun Marsh, 56 from 32

Scorchers win .. Good game .. Played Hussey/Marsh     ...     Scorchers get thru to Champions League ..and a home final.



Had a decent game

Knocked out, early in Poker Tourny, last nite.

Big Bash Semi - Melbourne Renegades v Brisbane Heat - Docklands

So, this profitable competition reaches the closing stages.

Renegades only lost 1 game from 8, Heat won 4, so u would think Renegades would be highly favoured, and pre-toss, they are 1.73.

Heat have Pomersbach, who won the virtual play-off, while Renegades have Hales, who was so electric in the last game, despite getting off a plane, and Murali.

Initially, I like Renegades.



Heat win the toss and bat.

Run line - 153 initially, down to 150



Hopes, (Heat) injured in warm-up, misses, replaced by Burns.
