1:50pm (local time) 2:20pm (vic, nsw) 1:20pm (qld) 11:20am (w.a)

For those without foxtel the game will be simulcast live and free on the Cricket Australia app. Airplay is supported but I don't think it's chromecast compatible so I recommend androiders using a micro usb/usb C to hdmi adaptor if watching on a big screen.


Australia from: Aaron Finch (c), Josh Hazlewood (vc), Alex Carey (vc), Ashton Agar, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Pat Cummins, Travis Head, Chris Lynn, Shaun Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Ben McDermott, D'Arcy Short, Marcus Stoinis, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa

South Africa from: Faf du Plessis (c), Farhaan Behardien, Quinton de Kock, Reeza Hendricks, Imran Tahir, Heinrich Klaasen, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Chris Morris, Lungi Ngidi, Andile Phehlukwayo, Dwaine Pretorius, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi, Dale Steyn

Is South Africa @$2.20 well over the odds?

Who the f*** sets these odds?

It’s a two horse race, and cricket is a game where one great individual one off effort can win a game so there is no reason Australia can’t spring an upset, but isn’t gambling about probability? In what f***ing world is Australia the more likely side to win?

Agreed, Australia should be @$2.70 and South Africa $1.60. Watch for Australia's batting to collapse again with Finch and Maxwell the only decent contributions.

Can't profess to know a whole heap about betting but surely they've done it because no one's bothered betting at all for this so they need to attract the " bees " somehow ?

Thanks for that Socrates - I just had me some of that.

I wouldn't back Australia at $5 to win this. In fact, when Australia lose an early wicket or 2 then watch the price blow out - and then back both horses for the unlosable bet :).
