8. The phrase "Result Pitch" will get mentioned more that a
dozen times(seperate market 1.01)
Provided we get the weather then the better team will win.
I'm astonished Aus are shorter than England: The evidence
has been there for all to see all summer. England are a
better all round team than Australia, but there's a lot of
people who've been aus backers no-matter what during the
last three or four years, and old habits die hard I guess. I
think the three very close tests we've just been through are
keeping australia's price down:
To my mind, the 2 england
victories were one-sided games with close finishes. If that
sounds bizarre, what I mean is: England's superiority was
masked by great aussie fighting spirit, after the
winning/losing had been decided. In the OT game - England
totally dominated and were denied victory by losng saturday
to rain. All in all - a one sided series. Even the game we
lost, we'd given them a good kicking with the ball, but just
had no batsmen stand up to be counted.
So I think England have proved themselves the better side,
and they'll play to win at the Oval. Sure tactical decisions
(eg a declaration in the third innings) may well be
influenced by the series requirements, but the approach to
the game will be the same.
