First Test, first innings most runs current betting on Sportsbet. Absolutely insane that Fekete is at shorted odds then Mitch Starc and Johnson. Fekete is ordinary with the bat, your classic number 10 or 11.

Steve Smith 3.00 David Warner 3.75 Shaun Marsh 5.00
Usman Khawaja 5.50 Joe Burns 6.00 Glenn Maxwell 9.00
Adam Voges 9.00 Cameron Bancroft 10.00 Peter Nevill 11.00
Mitchell Marsh 15.00 James Faulkner 26.00 Andrew Fekete 101.00
Mitchell Starc 151.00 Nathan Lyon 151.00 Peter Siddle 151.00
Steve O'Keefe 151.00 Mitchell Johnson 276.00

That's great money on the two Mitches. Apart from the captain and broken thumb Warner that batting lineup is unproven. Australia could easily fall to 150 (or less) for 6/7 before the Mitches score some runs.

Put $10 on each of them (Mitch 1 and 2) and there is a decent chance you'll get a huge return from spending $20. Is it seen as very unlikely that Johnson will play?

I can't believe I ate the whole thing
Reading an article about the warm-up match, which mentions Australia struggling with bowling swing against England and how they'll fare vs Southee & Boult. One gets the feeling if this series was played in England then NZ would win, but at home I don't think it's going to play as big a part as everyone thinks.

Well yes you won't get identical English like conditions in this series - but in Brisbane if the pitch plays to historical tradition will produce enough bowler friendly conditions moments that will be to Southee & Boult's liking.

Then of course the Fremantle Doctor in Perth will be of great help to them.

It's a belter, but it can swing - ie Southee on the first morning in 08. Best chance might be to win the toss, take the new cherry and knock the top off early. Hobart we'd all love to see another 2011 green dunger, and who the hell knows what will happen in Adelaide.

NZTail makes a good point, I'd back us in for sure in England. Having said that, the Australian batting line-up - minus Smith - isn't bubbling over with class. Get into them early with the ball, I say.

Smith and warner aside our bowlers should really deal with the rest. We know aus aren't thrilled with their batting so a lot depends on how the aus attack bowks to a strong batting side.

Johnson is fit right? He'll do us at the WACA by homself. Siddle is solid and lyon is class. Starc continuing turning up with the first new ball would complete the bowling really well

Yea this series pretty much comes down to how often AUS bowlers can limit NZ batting & NZ bowlers limiting Warner/Smith scoring.
