It does not make too much sense to the average punter why Australia should start this final match in the Five ODI Series against England at Lords as favourites, but that is what they are with odds of 8/11 from Bet365 who make England, who have already won the series, a worthwhile proposition at 11/10.
It is true that the Aussies finally ‘came to the party’ in the 4th ODI, winning comfortably, but captain Ricky Ponting will admit that their effort was too little too late. That said it was good to see that Ponting re-discovered his touch at the crease, scoring 90 runs while his vice captain, Martin Clarke was unlucky not to claim a first Aussie century of the tour with a well hit 99 not out. Ponting is favourite in the top Australian Batsman market with odds of 3/1 for this match, with Clarke at 4/1, but the batsman who probably warrants the most respect at Lords is Mike Hussey. He averages 90 in ODI’s at Lords and looks a great bet to us at 8/1 with Bet365.com to top the visitors batting again in this match.
England v Australia 5th ODI Odds Comparison
As far as the Aussie bowlers are concerned any of the three front line men could end up top bowler in this match. The bookmakers think the same too and have Doug Bollinger, Ryan Harris and Shaun Tait all at 11/4.

Andrew Strauss, the England captain, will be keen to get his side back to winning ways and there is no better place to do that than HQ. A 4-1 series win has a much better ring to it than a 3-2, particularly in Ashes year which means that a big performance can be expected. That said Strauss, Kevin Pietersen and Paul Collingwood, have, at best mediocre batting records in ODI’s at Lords so perhaps the man to get the money down on again is England’s very own Irishman, Eoin Morgan, who can be backed in England Top Batsman market at 9/2 with Bet365 Bookmakers.
If England are to win then they will have to depend on the quick bowling of Anderson and Broad in particular. Broad in fact is favourite to be top bowler at 3/1 while Anderson is just behind at 7/2.
8/11 Australia
11/10 England
