Daily Result: £199.46
There was a great buzz about today's Australia v England match. Apart form being the big curtain-raiser to the imminent Ashes series both teams also needed the win to have any chance of progressing in the Champions Trophy. It was also the perfect opportunity for each team to gain a pyschological edge and win the first early skirmish for the Ashes. Even the Sky commentators seemed excited! So what did England do? They went from an impressive 83-0 to all out for 169. Which the Aussies knocked off at stroll in 37 overs. Sigh.
I actually didn't get to see all the match. At around 10 overs into it we had a "surprise" visit from some relatives so I levelled out at around £50 green the pair, took over tea-making duties and caught up on the latest family gossip. Was killing me not to know what was going on after such a good start by England! But on the plus side we had to get out all the wedding brochures we've been looking at so I got all excited about that again. Anyway, by the time I got back to the game the traditional England collapse was well underway - being helped along at pace by yet more bizarre shot selection.
By the change of innings the Aussie price was obviously very low and I just felt there was more value in spending some time doing the WTA semi-finals from Zurich rather than messing around for a tick or two on the cricket. So that's what I did, trading to reduced stakes and picking up around £90 across to the two games. I was keeping an eye on the cricket odds however and after two quick Aussie wickets I changed back to it and got involved again just before the fall of the third. Had no doubt Australia would win so the bigger odds just made the game more attractive. Managed to make a bit more on the match and then got on with other stuff for the afternoon while the Aussies knocked off the required total with ease.
There's no cricket tomorrow and Federer is obviously a very short price in the ATP final from Milan. Probably give the game a miss (and my so far unsuccessful ideas on stopping the Fed Express in its tracks - more to come on that another day) and have a dip into the WTA final from Zurich instead before heading into town for a shopping trip. Good luck if you get involved :-)
