Can England save any face in the third Test of the Ashes series? After getting blown out of the water in the first two Tests, largely being orchestrators of their own downfall with some woeful batting, the tourists are staring down the barrell of a potential whitewash in the series. They have yet to get any foothold in the series since the opening day of the first Test, a strong position which they simply threw away.
Now they will head to the unpredictable high bounce in Adelaide for the Third Test this week, hoping to redeem themselves. Coach AndY Flower has already said that there will be changes in the lineup as England look for a winning combination. While the Australians are running as strong 4/6 favourites to win the Third Test, you could look for bigger profit in the batsman markets.
Paddy Power are running a Double-Odds Special for the Third Test. Back a winning Top Team Run Scorer in any innings of the Third Test, and if the player scores a century, then the bookmaker will pay you out at DOUBLE your original odds.
Can England stage something of a comeback, led from the top by Alastair Cook? Or will it be the deadly bowling of Mitchell Johnson who blows the tourists away again in Adelaide, a ground where England have only won once before. Pride, at the very least, is up for grabs for England starting on Friday.
