300 on the aussies. I think England will take their eye off the ball seeing as they have retained the ashes. Also, with Ponting out, I actually think australia MAY come out somewhat rejuvenated.
Probably I'm talking complete bollocks though but hey, it's MY Vcash and I'll do as I please :grin:
300 on England. Aussies are pony, Sydney usually spins big aswell so should play into Swann's hands. I had £20 on England to win 3-1 at 14/1 at the start of the series aswell!
I doubt if it will be a traditional Sydney turner. If it is we've got Swann & they've got ... well no-one really. Sydney has been more of a slow swing and seam pitch recently; a bit like Headingley. Basically the type of pitch England play on all the time and it should be ideal for Anderson even with the Kookaburra ball. Siddle could be a problem or even Johnson if he bowls accurately (which is about as likely as this test being snowed off) but despite Australia's fantastic recoord at this ground (they've only lost once here - to England in 2003 - in the last 15 years of test cricket) of all the matches in this series this should be England's banker. England are on a massive financial bonus to win the series so won't be treating this like a dead rubber while Clarke lacks Ponting's motivational skills and is no better a tactician. I've put all my Vcash (about 2700) on an England win.
