Odds are:
SA 1.51
WI 8.4
Draw 4.2
Will this test prove to be another dream match for traders?
Difficult to say because SA in revenge mood and West Indies very much unpredictable side.
Although i think West Indies bowling has improved.
So my plan is Lay SA in 1.5x if they bat first and back SA 1.7+ if WI bat first.
Small Lay of Draw prematch (weather looking fine).
All the best and tell us your strategy for this match.
Dip

looks like Gibbs will be dropped for Neil McKenzie. Saffers top order was in woeful nick in the first test and probably quite complacent - WI's bowling was consistent but I didnt see many deliveries where i thought to myself 'that's unplayable'. It also highlighted how much SA depend on Kallis.
I think SA should win this if Kallis fires, but i'm not too sure about the pitch so will wait until the toss until posting a better prediction.
Again, I'll be dutching Kallis and Steyn to be man of the match, both were below par on the whole, but showed signs they weren't out of form.
8/13 on Kallis to outscore Smith seems more than fair, given just how poor form Smith is in.
Perhaps more appealing is 1.8 for Chanderpaul to outscore Smith.

I am on WI 13/2 to win, all i can say is the very much unpredictable West Indies, seem more predictable than SA at the moment.
But the way i see it, i would rather be on a unpredictable 8.4 , than a unpredictable 1.51 . |

west indies win the toss and bat. for some strange reason they've dropped darren sammy (who had a good first test) and replaced him with the leg-spinner Rawl Lewis, statistically one of the worst bowlers in test history. 
Ganga is out and the odds on SA have dropped from 1.7 to 1.55 - surely worth a Lay?

WI 71/1 yet still 6.6, draw is coming in and SA are drifting slowly.
Backed WI and letting my SA Lay run.
EDIT: well, i jinxed it, morton out just as i posted. No worries, laid some more SA @ 1.63 as there seems to be a huge over-reaction to each wicket.

West Indies 83/3 at lunch.
Odds are:
SA 1.48
WI 9
Draw 4.6
Two new batsmen on the crease.One is Chanderpaul.
I am waiting for SA odds 1.3x to Lay or 1.7x to back.
Although i think SA price will stay at 1.5x for long.So may consider Lay around 1.5x (South Africa) if score will be around 120/3 after lunch.

after a shaky end to the morning session, things are going more to plan now with SA drifting and the draw price coming in.
SA 1.9
WI 7.6
Draw 2.92
EDIT: Draw continuing to come in, think it might be odds-on by the end of the day if WI dont lose more than a couple more wickets. Already, this test has a deja vu feeling to the last one.

181/3, Samuels starting to play some strokes which is worrying!
Market finally beginning to take shape, the sense of deja vu here is eerie - i'm not complaining, once again the Lay of SA has paid dividends 
SA 2.42
WI 6.6
Draw 2.38
Draw may well be odds-on by tonight.
EDIT: once again, a wicket falls after i post here! draw at 2/1 has to be the call given the market's nature today.

great day's trading with plenty opportunities to green out, shame i didnt take all of them!
will start off day 2 with another Lay of SA at about 1.35, can only see them trading considerably higher during the day, and they probably wont dip below 1.25 even if they have a great day.
