spot on. in boxing day test, on day one i got on aussies at 2.15 when pakis where around 2/200. the aussies are just so good, they wear sides down in tests. There is no doubt that aussies are so methodical that streaky, flashy players can maybe do well for a short period eg afridi on weekend but australia just follow a plan and grind away. so in a test by day 3 they are on top.


on that theory, the south africa england test series shows different philosophies of those cricketing nations. have a good go on draw at start (2.30 ish ) and sit back and wait. slow over rates and bad weather often mean that draw is in to 1.60/1.75 by day 4 and hopefully one team in position to win. I bet with cricketbet, and they will often offer odds on draw or not a draw so laying off is possible.

you dont get rich but i think a profit of $200-300 a test is pretty realistic and handy, especially in these days of back to back tests.
