Tip Detail

Sport	Cricket
Event	2nd Test Eng vs India
Selection	England Win
Strength	5/10
Date	09/03/2006
Bookmaker/Price	Betfair @ 8.60 (Back)
Reasoning	The draw seems to be favourite here but i've heard several reports suggesting the wicket may favour the seemers which is in England's favour. England looked much more likely to take 20 wickets than India and at nearly 9 this price is too good for me to ignore.

Tip Detail

Sport	Cricket
Event	Ind v Eng - 2nd Test
Selection	Lay India (Lay)
Strength	10/10
Date	13/03/2006
Bookmaker/Price	Betfair @ 2.70 (Lay)
Reasoning	Draw is awfully short @ 1.93 on the exchanges for the start of the match. Poor weather forcasts are pushing the draw down but from what I can make out it mainly rains at night (as in the first test) and quickly drys out. Mohali is more of a seamer friendly wicket adn the groundsman predicts a 'result producing' track. India have dropped Kaif and Laxman for this test and will be missing the impressive Sreesanth who has a viral infection. So India will be looking to go the same way as England in the first test and play the extra bowler England will be pretty much the same but I expect Blackwell to drop out and Plunkett to come in. That's ok by me, more seam friendly track, helps take the work load off Freddie and Co and he can hold a bat too. England are definately too long on the odds and are good for a trade, draw is too short IMO and is good for a short term lay. I've decided to lay India though and keep the England win and Draw onside.
