I'd got through a fair bit of work this morning so decided to have a look in at the Under 19 ODI between England and India. The perceived wisdom on Betfair was that India would walk it and they duly did.
Liquidity was pretty poor though so after a quick early trade or two I decided to leave it and just had it on in the background before going up the driving range. Playing a couple of friends tomorrow afternoon and haven't had a swing for a couple of weeks. No idea how we're going to make it around and may even opt for 9 holes. Knocking 60 balls off the driving range nearly killed me in this heat!
Nothing to really trade tomorrow apart from another under 19s game. If you fancy an outright punt at short odds 1.28 is available on Betfair. (See some early birds got as high as 1.5) Hardly a tip at that price, especially when they were 1.6x before yesterday's match. But the Indian bowling that I saw yesterday was very disciplined and pretty impressive to be honest. Really can't see anything other than a 3-0 series win for the Indians. Leave it up to you to decide if you think the price is value. Not my cup of tea but for any short odds punters out there it's at least worth a quick look.
Finally, a quick word on The Sportsman. Unfortunately it's been placed into administration but will continue to be published. I know it's not perfect but at least it's an alternative to the Racing Post. And if the Sportsman goes the Post will simply revert back to its monopoly position and standards will fall further again.
It seems the Sportsman needs a daily circulation of 40,000 to survive. After the initial honeymoon period post launch it's fallen to less than 24,000. If you've ever moaned about the quality of the Racing Post do your duty and go and buy a Sportsman today! Surely it's better to at least have an option to buy it even if you don't read it regularly?

Hi fuzzer, who did you used to write for? I have a newspaper background myself. Though was on news rather than sports side of things.
Funny, I dislike the Mail too but have to acknowledge it is a well put together paper simply because of the money it has to have reporters and agency back up everywhere.
Once had to go to their newsroom. Awful place. All very rigid and I felt like there was some kind of unspoken uniform as to a man every bloke was wearing a blue shirt. Most unnerving - especially as I wasn't!
