Pakistan v Australia: day 4 punting preview
Written on Friday, 16 July 2010 11:47
Well, the Aussies did indeed bat for two sessions, and have set a target that is probably insurmountable. The conditions have settled down, and in the English approximation to sunshine, the Aussie tail and then the Pakistan top order were able to score reasonably freely.
With two full days of play remaining, the draw has gone to $50 as expected (although it went down to sub $20 for a bit early on day three, and was good to lay at those levels) and after Pakistan's strong showing and Butt still at the crease, they narrowed to $4.60 (after again spiking to $17 as Australia's lower order piled on runs).
As expected, they have been a great friend to in-play punters. Australia has correspondingly widened to around $1.30.
If your book has any green on Pakistan, lay off some now, and some more early on the 4th in the first hour before their inevitable collapse(s).
Alternatively, take Australia on the final day at $1.45 or better.
