Cricket trading: 5th ODI

Daily Result: £7.24

So England got knocked out of the World Cup today. Bit gutted to be honest. And while the 10 man performance was gutsy if I'm equally honest we've just not performed like we should have the whole tournament. Wrong team, wrong squad, wrong formation and ultimately the wrong manager. Heaven help us when the man who likes to give away a three goal start before he shows his "genius" takes over. Just feel that the current generation of England players - and it is one of the best we've ever had - has been somewhat wasted through poor management. Bollocks.

Anyway, to add insult to injury today's final ODI between England and Sri Lanka looks without doubt like it would have been the best of the 5 to trade profit wise. England starting just above evens, drifting to around 2.5, no doubt reaching more than 2s on before Sri Lanka had a knock and then the Lankan's making the target.

Was busy this morning though - and then out to the pub early for the game - but did have a very quick dip into the match hence the £7.24. Well, every penny helps pay for the big day.

England touched as low as 1.25 then levelled at around 1.40 at the interval. Like you I'd gone out to watch the football so wasted what was a great game to trade and only made a few quid from the first 30 overs.

I did however ring Betfair after 2 overs of the SL innings and England had drifted to 1.8 !!!!

Thanks for letting me know Jimmy. Was right with the slightly below 1.5 at the break then but the fact they'd touched 1.25 before that just makes the whole day even worse!!

Still, guess I can't really complain. The series treated me well. Just a shame to miss the trading finale as it were. Guess I wouldn't have cared if England had won!!
