Why so? It's the first test match of the English summer! And though I'm greener than a particularly envious green thing because Emma (my fiancee for anyone who hasn't read the What's it all about section) has blagged a box at Lords through work at least I got to watch the whole thing on tv.
Pretty lucky really. Emma likes her cricket as much as me and she managed to get some Ashes tickets through work for last summer. We even made it to a Sri Lanka v Bangladesh test in Columbo last year. Anyway, the point is I get to watch and trade on lots of cricket with few complaints!
That all said I just got too eager today. Tried backing Sri Lanka hoping for early wickets to get some early green and they didn't come. Rudi Koertzen had another of his "special" days behind the stumps and forgot about the lbw law. Still, should be plenty of time to turn my position around.
It's kind of sacrilege really. Test cricket is great but I actually prefer one dayers because the trading is quicker. Depending on the match situation there can be hours of very little market movement in tests. I knew that by ignoring the tennis today it would be less profitable but I just had to have the test match on in the background this time.
