Bloody Poms

Up until Friday, I really fancied NZ's chances of pinching today's ODI off Australia. Doesn't matter how good a sportsteam is, the more wins they string together the possibility slightly increases they'll put in a sub-par performance and their opponents can catch them on an off-day. Unfortunately for Kiwi fans, that day came two days early.

Now Australia losing two ODI cricket matches in a row is about as common as the wife cooking me breakfast, so I'm being a touch pessimistic. I guess we're in with a starter's chance, and the Australian price on Betfair ($1.25) is a little tight. So close eyes, put a wee wager on the Blackcaps and hope that lightning can indeed strike twice.
