Perfect Way to Silence the Critics
Australia endured a horrible period when the sport was shaken to its core in the country following the ball-tampering scandal. What followed was nothing short of shambolic, with players banned, heads rolling at Cricket Australia, fans turning their back on both organisers and the squad and pundits and ex-players quick to stick the boot in. All that resulted in the reputation of the team being dragged through the mud by the world media and left in tatters.
It looked like a body blow the nation would never recover from, but they knew the quickest way to repair the damage was to draw a line under it and shift the focus to their play by winning cricket matches again. The team had to endure a few false dawns with a couple of victories promising much, only to be followed by a hurtful defeat. Not everyone will agree due to the nature of their crime, but it was pleasing to see Australia bounce back as they are a force in world cricket and a strong Aussie side can only be good for the game.
The perfect way to silence the critics and prove they are back to where they want to be would be a World Cup win, on English soil no less, and bookmakers don’t appear to be in a mad rush to write them off. Oz start third in the outright betting with Bet365 one of a few major bookmakers offering 7/2 on them coming out on top. An appearance in the final is 7/4 at Ladbrokes or you can aim to play it safe and take a top four finish at 1/2 with Unibet. What a final England v Australia would be and that’s second favourite in the market with 13/2 offered, behind the 4/1 of England v India.
