Eng Vs Ire - Test

[Fader]

After a fantastic World Cup we have a lovely little test with Ireland, before The Ashes. This is a 4 day test and we're at back at Lords for this one. Ireland are a huge price to win this and although you would expect England to dominate, with those kind of prices, it's quite tempting.

England will rest a few in this and the top order looks getable. There will be a few new faces, including 3 debutants.

I'm going to take 2. The first is Bairstow top batsmen for England. Other than Root, he looks the man with the experience here and if that top order goes early he is also the man to keep things solid. The other bet will be a small 1pt punt on Ireland. Do i think Ireland will win? No. Do I think they are 28/1 shots? No.

2pts J.Bairstow top England batsman 5/1 betfair
1pt Ireland to beat England 28/1 Blacktype

England will be the makers, no chance for Ireland just some chances here and there.

No such thing as "no chance" Leicester had "no chance" of winning the league.

Ireland now 7/4

ahh, well they gave me a run for my money atleast. Bit of a bottle job 2nd innings but you had the feeling that once they let a night-watchman get past 50 it was over.
