The Ashes - Test 1

[Bag & Sledge]

Paul Collingwood is a danger for most runs, he has a great record against the Aussies and if he doesnt top score in the first test he will in one of them.
Graham Swann is a good bet for most wickets this match, he has been in good form and the Cardiff deck loves a spinner, cant say Australia have a good record recently against spinners.

[another grub]

who won day 1 eags???

Draw $2.45
England $2.80
Australia $3.20

[Westsider]

I reckon the draw has won this test.

[Browny25]

Isnt this a spinners wicket like the SCG?

dont see too many draws there.

[Westsider]

I think Hauritz turned like 5 deliveries all day. It's a very slow turn. Won't cause too many issues.

Did you hear the commentators when he was bowling. I think it was Beefy who said in a surprised tone "Did that just turn."

pitch looked like it was going to fall apart to me, ive got my money on the poms

[Westsider]

Next wicket - Bowled - $5.00 - im on

[Westsider]

Caaaaaaaaaaaching

[whufc]

More of an interest bet but i have

Highest 1st Innings Score Australia

Katich $10 @ 5.00 = $50 return

The pitch looks as good as it gets at this stage so like the Kat who will be on from the start. Also England have made no secret they are gunning for Phil Hughes so i can see Katich taking advantage of this.

I'll keep a small tally going of all my bets throughout the Ashes, i generally don't bet big though.

[Westsider]

I stuffed up on my next 3 bets!

I had to Aust high bat 1st Inns
Clarke $10 @ $ 6.00
Katich $ 5 @ $ 5.00

But then I was gonna do a first man out... I was going to pick Hughes... but did Katich so...

First Man out 1st Inns
Katich $10 @ $ 1.90

[Q.]

For a bit of interest:

$20 on Katich @ $5.50 for High Bat - Australia - 1st Innings

[gadj1976]

I've got $45 on Katich highest runs for the series on betfair @ $11.50.

Quichey, I've still gotta call Brooksy - will do tomorrow.
