Hmm I don't like this decimal betting, but the figures don't add up Rachael, 25% England and 65%-70% on Australia winning, that makes either 90% or 95% in total, where is the other 5% or 10% I wonder, or am I missing somthing?.Why can't they stop fiddling, in all senses of the word.

Take the odds now, because when the county season starts, the bookies will not have discounted the fact that Flintoff and Harmison may be fit in time, a good start for their counties, will see Englands odds shorten I reckon.
We all missed the boat in 1981, England dead in the water, odds 500-1, LOL England won, I think all 22 players had taken a punt.
