Ha! Merci beaucoup.Unlikely on the diary front. Not much of a wordsmith.

To get a game at Cardiff we need to be playing by 4.17. That would be a 20 overs a side game. Still drizzling

[Chompy]

Day admitted he choked at the Masters. Quite surprised by that tbh.

Southee dropped, lol.

NZ win toss and bowl. that's good news with weather around and DL a possibility later

Remind me never to put up any top bowler/batsman bets up again.

The NZ loss to England by 10 runs was slightly disappointing

45 minutes away from a washout, then a very controversial non no-ball call on a wicket delivery with the game in the balance. England bowled superbly though, in nice conditions for them

Still, all is not lost because NZ got close for Net run rate purposes

NZ have three points NRR +0.72

SL 2 points NRR -0.52

Aus 1 point NRR -1.06

SL play Aus tomorrow

SL win they go through

Aus win it comes down to NRR between them and NZ

For example, if Aus bat first and score 250, they would need to bowl out SL for less than 124 to stop NZ going through

If SL bat first and get 250, Aus would need to get them in 29 overs

On Betfair NZ are 17.5, Australia 40

For all intents and purposes then, we are funking for Australia, which is unlikely but you never know and probably more palatable than trading for a tenner profit which I decided not to do this morning

A real wild card is weather, no result, NZ go through in that scenario

[TightEnd]

Funking for Stenson currently Tied for 8th, 6 paid e/w....70/1

Just know we are going to miss out by a shot or two....

Cheng Tsung Pan has set the target for best amateur with +15 in the clubhouse.
Michael Kim is +5 thru 9 (+1 today).
This could be close.

and the betting market

Mickelson 5/2
Schwartzel 5/1
Stricker 6/1
Mahan 6/1
Rose 9/1
Donald 10/1
Horschel 14/1
Day 16/1
Fowler 33/1
100/1 bar

and it being so difficult to put together something like 66-67 to come from 4-5 behind to win it, is there any value in those prices, or is it just too tough to call?

For example Stricker will par his way round it and great temperament etc etc..if he were to be in the clubhouse at evens you'd take the 6-1 now in a shot would you not?
   

Jason Day at 16s e/w with Paddy Power looks value with 4/1 the place.  He impressed me in the masters and looks unlikely to blow up.  I certainly wouldn't lay 4/1 the place anyway.

ooooooooh

Would be a hell of a bok!  Got 8 shots to lose thru 14

He dropped four shots in the last three holes yesterday and the course is tougher today.
I tend to be cautious in these matters.

Kim +8 thru 16.
