Hi all,the following quote via Yahoo from 'the Guardian' and 'the Observer' seems to indicate that there is chance of a Draw in the First Test at Trent Bridge:-
The quote ='Graeme Swann and Stuart Broad have already passed on to Anderson that conditions at Trent Bridge this season have not been favouring the Nottinghamshire seam bowlers. The last two County Championship matches at the ground have petered out into draws with a total of 1,811 runs scored for the loss of only 31 wickets.
"All the feedback we're getting from the Notts boys is that it's not swung as much this year," Anderson said. "The pitch is very flat and very dry, so we don't really know what to expect until we get there and practise."
"I think the square has been changing for the last three or four years," said Read. "A lot of people have put it down to these new outfields – the one at Trent Bridge is fantastic in terms of absorbing the water from rain, but the theory is that it is also sucking moisture out of the square.
"I certainly think that for the majority of our games this year there has been less moisture in the ground and it's therefore been giving less assistance to all the quick bowlers.'
Therefore, $3.90 the Draw with a possible 'stake saver ' at some stage, seems worth an interest.
No responsibility taken for any losses in association with this posting.
