I'm ashamed to admit, that quite contrary to the spirit of this blog, I put £10 on England to win the first test match.
The reasoning behind betting against England is that most of the time, fans over react, and that this is reflected in the betting market.
I was able to get an astonishing 10 to 1 on Wednesday night with Betfair. You see, the heart of this England team is not English at all. If only there were some decent South African spinners, they could be quite competitive.
It seems that the message that "England are shit" has got out, and everybody over reacted. Okay, so they had the floor wiped with them in the one day series, but Test Cricket is a funny old game.
I mean it will probably still be a draw, but hey, I think I would be in with a shout. Except that of course, England are now favourites to win the match, and so they are more likely than not going to throw it all away.
