Once upon a time

not too long ago, in a land not too far away (well, Christchurch actually) there was this game of cricket played between Australia and a team who thought they could beat Australia. On a good batting pitch, the non-Australian team got off to a great start - 265-3 after the first day.

They lost inside 4 days. I remember it well, as Australia's price during the game blew out to 4/1, and the draw was $1.50 when the tide turned, as it invariably does.

While England are stronger than NZ was in 2004/5, my money is still on the Aussies - at least for another day.
