Cricket: Fifth Test
Its been a long eighteen years, but England do look like
they are finally going to secure the ashes back from the
Aussies.
Even though Glenn McGrath is back, he has only played a
minimal amount of cricket and looks to be a little short of
match fitness. Another factor is that England have scored
more than 400 runs in each of their first innings and this
is unheard of against a team such as Australia. They are
even scoring at over four an over.
Paul Collingwood has come in for a Simon Jones, and he
should strengthen the batting line up. The Australians are
favourites to win the test at 13/8, while England are a
surprisingly long 5/2. There is betting in running
available.
This game could go either way, and much depends on who
wins the toss. A lucrative market could be the 'performance'
market. If we take a look at the top England Batsmen, one
man that stands out is opener Marcus Trescothick.
The man from Somerset has had a remarkable series,
averaging over 44 runs an innings. Even though he has not
yet hit a century in the series, its well known that he like
the Oval pitch, and he has a history of runs here.
Trescothick has an average of 85 runs from his previous five
innings, with his last score at the Oval a mighty 219.
At 7/2, his price looks just about right, and all the
signs point him being amongst the runs today.
Recommendation: Marcus Trescothick to be England top
bat (1st innings only) @ 7/2 & Man of the Match @ 11/1
