South Africa V Australia 2nd Test Day 3 Betting

After fighting back and taking the last six Australian wickets for just 49 runs early on during the 2nd day the South Africans now find themselves in desperate trouble after a fearsome display of fast bowling by Mitchell Johnson. If finishing the day on 138 for 7 wasn't bad enough the news that Graeme Smith has another broken hand is a devastating blow for the South Africans.

The day started well for them as the wicket finally lived up to expectations with Dale Steyn bowling a hostile spell adding another two wickets to his total. When Australia were dismissed for 352 South Africa must have thought they were back in the game, then came the spell from Johnson. After removing McKenzie and Amla in the first over of the innings he then went on to catch Smith on the glove with a nasty rising delivery.

Backed up by McDonald and Hilfenhaus, Johnson then forced Jacques Kallis to retire hurt needing stitches in his chin on their way to demolishing the South Africa batting. The South Africans look set to avoid the follow on but the series is disappearing fast for them and surely only a miricle can save them now.

Premier League Round Up 04/03/09

If the bookmakers are to be believed then the title is already decided, 1/16 with Victor Chandler is the best price you can find on Man Utd after their 2-1 win over Newcastle. It is hard to disagree and surely they only need to avoid defeat to Liverpool next week and it will all be over.

In the betting for the fourth Champions League spot Arsenal are back favourites again despite their dodgy form and run of 0-0 draws. Aston Villa seem to have hit a rocky patch and with the late drama against Stoke last Sunday and tonights defeat to Man City they haven't been able to take advantage of Arsenal's recent generousity.



With the exception of West Brom who are starting to get cut adrift of fourth bottom it is still far from sure who else will be going down. The relegation battle has been wide open all season and just when it seemed that the promoted three where heading back down Stoke and Hull go and upset things by pulling off timely victories. Stoke have shown that they have the stomach for the fight lately with their remarkable fight back to get a point at Villa Park on Sunday and again with a crucial 2-0 win over Bolton tonight, while Hull who must have wondered where the next win was coming from go and win at Fulham of all places to really throw a spanner in the works.

With Middlesbrough, Portsmouth and Newcastle all losing and Blackburn only managing a draw Stoke winning has seen them jump up to sixth from bottom and have all the teams up as far as Bolton looking nervously over their shoulders again.
