Catch up

Firstly sorry for not updating the blog for a few days but it's all been a little hectic on the home front. Emma is going abroad on business from this weekend for a while, we're due to have new carpets fitted and it's all meant there's been a bit of a rush get all manner of DIY stuff done. From painting and decorating to tiling and seemingly a thousand other things.

Which all means I've barely had a chance to turn the computer on let alone trade. Though given my results for the last few days perhaps that's for the best! Can be useful to have a break after a big loss so a few days away was probably not a bad move.

Unfortunately it means I missed the New Zealand v Australia ODIs. And what a series it turned out to be. Weakened teams maybe but Australia appear to be in a touch of disarray. Having been beaten three in three by England they showed it wasn't a fluke and got beaten 3-0 by the Kiwis too!! :-) Including a staggering 10 wicket monstering!!! Which all means that for the first time since ODI rankings were introduced in 2002 Australia are no longer number 1. Amazing scenes, as some on Betfair might say. From the look of the games it seems there was plenty of price movement to trade too. I'm told 1.01 Australia got overturned in this morning's match!! Hope you all managed to take advantage.

Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be any real cricket now until the World Cup warm ups kick off early next month. There is some snooker, tennis and darts though which I intend to have a look in on. Really it's all going to be about getting ready for the World Cup though, doing some research and perhaps introducing some new money management rules for the competition. I've also got a new free trading software deal that a generous, kind-hearted supplier [ :-P ] has offered all the blog readers so I'll put the details of that up tomorrow.

In the meantime I'll try and get through all the emails I haven't replied to over the last few days. Sorry for the delay but I should catch up tomorrow.
