3rd Test - Old Trafford, Manchester Starts Thursday 7.30pm (Melbourne time) England Draw Australia 3.55 3.30 2.27 102.5% Draw Not a Draw 3.30 1.40 Once again England are value at 3.55, Aussies nearly pinched 2nd test but surely the aussie top order has pulled heads in now. Can you believe that Stuart Clark has be brought in as Tait hasn't had enough match practice... talk about bad management. Whats the point taking him over !!!

Aussies are good value...there's no way in hell they would let the poms go 2-1 in the series....its just not cricket

What condition is the wicket supposed to be in? If a spinners track as has been suggested Aussies a chance, if no turn then i[m less certain. Depleted Aussie pace attack will do no favours. Harmison, Flintoff and Co are in form with their tails up so i wouldn't write the Poms off just yet - hate to say it. Especially considering ordinary batting form.

Still reckon the poms are pretty good value. They're batting first. That's their best chance. Let's see how they go. Hard to believe McGrath could be 100%.

Sportz you will appreciate this,

Aussies out to $2.95 IAS, $3.20 Betfair
Draw @ $2.70
'Jammy gits' as the Poms would say $2.87

And it's still not tea, might wait a little longer - i'm sure they'll drift further.

Just saw $5 for the aussies on Betfair, was snapped up pretty quick.

Tempting all the same - taking a chance on batting line up - is it worth it?.

NO!

I haven't had a saver on Australia yet and it looks like I won't need to.

I can't believe that Australia were shorter than England in the betting when they only had about 50 runs on the board. Seriously, what are these punters thinking???

Not looking good guys.

Backed Warnie to get 97.5 + runs @ $1.85, then its only another 2 for his 1st 100, bet you that this is one time he wouldnt mind his test "maiden" making the headlines.

I suppose i am stating the obvious however $2.00 the draw is looking good value at this stage.

Yep. I've had a saver on the draw, so the only way I can lose on the match is if Australia scores 400+ on the last day, and believe me, if that happens, I'll be more than happy to lose money on the match!!!
