Bookies have shortened the odds on the draw quite a bit in the last week, and I have to say it looks by far the most likely result.

Ah yes, as they showed when they whitewashed the significantly weaker West Indies side on relatively bowler friendly wickets in spite of the weather cutting short the games.

If Cook gets injured in the first Test, I think we can definitely rule him out as a suspect for when Broad gets raped later on :ph34r:

Or maybe he's just cooking up an alibi for himself.

Wasn't Jimmeh supposed to rape Broad according to the predictions last fortnight?

Unless, they are planning on a two-pronged (or possibly multi-pronged) attack! 8-) Seriously, good luck, Stuey. You need it, kid!

Mukund to go LBW/Bowled in this match to Anderson of a bowl swinging into him.
Needs to improve his trigger movement early on when his feet sometimes don't move forward. Gambhir had the same issue a while ago, but has improved a lot since then.

Odds on an exchange some like this happening during the test series have to be about 2/1:

English batsman trapped in front, looks pretty close to being out

Umpire gives it not out, Dhoni and the Indian Team become quite irate at what they perceive to be an incorrect decision

English batsman: Why don't you refer it Mahendra? Oh, that's right, you can't because your ****ing board decided against the UDRS...play on.

Will be tuning in to this when I can, promises to be pretty interesting. Hard to pick which team to back though...will settle for the players I don't like getting a towelling at least once in the series.
