Cricket Odds: Aussies On Top
December 14th, 2014 by G WaldorfIt looks like it’s been the batsmen on top in the first Test – especially the Australians, led by David Warner in particular – but the spotlight will be on the Aussie bowlers when play resumes today. With a healthy lead of well over 300 runs, the Australians have every chance of claiming the victory, and whatever happens, they’ll be the ones taking the momentum with them into the next Test. In terms of the Cricket odds for the second Test – which starts on Wednesday – it’s still the Australians in pole position, with a draw much more likely, say the bookies, than an Indian win.
But one of the great things about the Cricket is the sheer number of interesting bets that you’ll see odds for if you hit one of those links. Even besides the futures and the outrights, there are lots of results you can back, and plenty of bets on how the two teams go. But there’s all the bets on individual players, too, as well as all those bets on things like the toss, the fall of wickets, whether any batsman will post a double century – and literally dozens more. If you head on over to our Cricket odds page you’ll see that David Warner has put himself in the favourite’s spot to be the man who bags the most runs in the series – he looked in great touch as he registered a century in both innings in the first Test, and he looked pumped and eager for the contest, too. Don’t rule out Steve Smith, mind you – rarely can he have been in better form, and he’ll get plenty of opportunity to add to his own tally as the series goes on.
Perhaps the biggest question you’ll have to consider if you’re looking at the Cricket odds for the India-Australia Test series is whether the tourists can come back into the series, reversing the momentum Australia have gathered in an emotionally-charged Adelaide Test. On Sportsbet right now, we’re seeing odds of $3.13 for India to win a Test match in the series, which tell you how the bookies see their chances. Do you think Kohli and his men can overturn those odds?
