So I've had a few days away from trading since the Bangladesh v Sri Lanka loss. Couple of reasons really. The first is my fiancee Emma has a week off inbetween jobs so we've been getting out and about and catching up with some DIY around the house. Also been taking another look at the wedding plans and budget. In fact, we're off out soon to the reception venue to have a chat about all that and start sorting some of the details.
The other reason is the cricket odds have been so 1-sided pre match in these qualifiers for the ICC Champions Trophy that it wasn't really worth getting involved unless you were looking for a drift in price as I was in the Sri Lanka game. Yesterday's match between Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe saw Sri Lanka at 1.02 before the toss for example.
Things should be better trading wise from now on though. Despite West Indies being 1.12 in today's match with Bangladesh the game has good potential for some profit, especially if Bangladesh bat first and post a decent total. Hoping they do so that when I get back from the reception venue visit it might well be worth getting involved.
The other two qualifiers will probably also be worth a look. I'm sure an argument could be made to say Bangladesh and Zimbabwe are as bad as each other so Friday's game could be competitive (though in reality I think Bangladesh have just about pulled themselves out of the lowest rung of international cricket now and should win comfortably). While the final qualifier between Sri Lanka and the West Indies on Saturday could be a cracker. Certainly worth trading anyway.
And after that we're into the competition proper. 15 matches in 21 days with the curtain raiser being India v England this Sunday. Drop in a little tennis on the non-cricket days and there's a good, and hopefully profitable, month's trading ahead!
