Cricket and NFL results

Result since last update: £162.19

Been involved in three events since the last update. Had small wins on the 3rd ODI between Sri Lanka and England and Sunday's Detroit at Washington NFL and a moderate loss in the 4th ODI between India and Australia.

Not quite getting the cricket right at the moment. Was well ahead in the England match at the change of innings before slowly donating most my green back to the market. And that was despite waiting out much of it because I just couldn't call it with any confidence. Never really got into such a good position in the India game. Good win and keeps the series alive but the difference between the teams for me today was the record amount of extras Australia gave away. Going to take it a bit easier in the next ODI I do and get back to trying to concentrating on getting the basics right before trying to push home for a bigger win.

Am doing the 2nd test between Pakistan and South Africa too. Inzi's swansong. Gone with a lay the draw strategy again for now so will see what happens over the next couple of days. Will also get a look at the televised darts this week if I get the time although am pretty busy on the work front at the moment.

Just a short entry for today. Back properly tomorrow.
