Australia to win 3rd Test - 25/1 - 4pts (Betfair)


With good weather forecast for the 4th and 5th Days of the 2rd Test, I think a result is a definite possibility. I considered laying the draw at 1.16, but instead have opted for backing Austrlia at 25/1.

Australia are 1-0 down in the series and they may take a chance with a challenging declaration early on Day 5. The weather looks good for day 4/5, so there are plenty of overs left....(although there is probably a delayed start today, the overs should be made up). The main concern re: the draw is an early finish tomrorow due to bad light.

Of course England could slowly grind out a large total today and this bet is going to look very silly...

Nice idea, but there's rain forecast for tomorrow mate. Can't see any other outcome - as the odds suggest. Good luck though...

Weather looks OK to me for tomorrow...maybe a 10 overs lost with light rain.
