Bookies back India
Melbourne: It is still almost a month to go before the first ball of the much-anticipated India-Australia Test series is bowled but bookmakers and cricket punters here have already picked Anil Kumble’s men as favourites.
India was initially listed at U.S. $2.25 by Lasseters Sports before a leading cricket punter put a $6,000 bet on the host winning the series. The bet brought the Indians’ price down to $2 with Australia placed at $2.65. A drawn series is the least likely result according to the bookmakers, who have listed it at $4.25, The Courier Mail reported.
The reason for the bookies losing faith in the all-conquering Aussie team is the lack of quality spin options in the side and star all-rounder Andrew Symonds being axed for his “gone fishing” misdemeanour. — PTI
