Cricket Test Series.

[thephysician]

I've gone for England to win the Series at 2.1 (2 points). I think this is a good England test side, that will be well placed to beat the South Africans. The order looks good, except for the lack of specialist bowlers, where an injury to any of them could cause a problem. I don't expect England to win the 1st Test, though, as they don't travel well. Thinking about a Lay on England there. England don't seem to travel well, and haven't chalked a 1st Test win away on 13 of the last 15 series. If they don't, I expect the 11/10 on the series to drift out, and I'll have another 2 points on England, unless I see something I really don't like in the match. Any other thoughts?

Re: Cricket Test Series. I'm pretty much just laying the draw(weather permitting), this series. Even though Port Elizabeth is a "draw" wicket, with the way test cricket is being played these days, draws just don't seem to happen that often. Also, neither team has a "strong" batting line-up, so throughout the series I can seen results. At 2.4 currently, seems to me that there is a LOT of mileage in laying the draw as I only need 3 results from 5 tests to get a win. Expect me back in 2 months counting my losses now!
