Australia have played a couple of warm up games on tour so far, which included a solid victory over Ireland. In that match a superb 80 from opener, Tim Paine assured them of the victory and he looks a very good prospect at present to top score for the visitors in this match. Favourite in this market in fact is fellow opener and all-rounder, Shane Watson with odds of 11/4, but Paine looks like a much better betting option with odds of 11/2 from paddy power
The betting for the top England batsman for the match is a very close affair, but it is Kevin Piertersen who heads the market with odds of 9/4, while captain and opener, Andrew Strauss stands alongside fellow opener, Craig Kieswetter with odds of 10/3. Next best comes Paul Collingwood and rising England star, Eoin Morgan who are both 5/1 shots.
