Day 2
Yes, ahem, well (more embarrassed coughing), my optimism that England could keep this match competitive has proved ill-founded. We're down to two possible results now, and the pitch, weather (showers are forecast tomorrow) and the Indian bowling performance will dictate how this match ends up.
The overnight prices (England 70 India 2.08 Draw 1.96) are not too far out of line with what they should be. It looks like the remainder of the match may be boring from a betting point of view - although if England look half decent batting there will be some price volatility.
Thankfully I didn't tinker too much betting as when I did I got it wrong. Backing England at 20's when India were 450-6 was a masterstroke (NOT) as Dhoni went ballistic shortly thereafter. And bailing on half my draw lay at a loss ($1.70) shortly before the end of India's innings did not factor in Strauss' brain-fade before the close of play.
Still, I'll make money on this test - currently Eng +145 India +145 Draw +50; hopefully some price volatility will allow me to eke out a few more shillings.
