Looking at backing the draw here at 7.
The Oval has had a lot of 400 run + innings the last few matches and half the county champ matches this season have ended in a draw.
Looking like sunny weather which may compliment batting conditions.
Will look to trade out after a decent first innings total if goes to plan.

2.00 for England looks generous if you expect Smith to repeat his previous performances.
And thats what I'm expecting.
From what I've seen he's a machine, great coordination but his shot selection, discipline and adjustment when he detects a weakness (getting clobbered by Archer) is an example for players at any level.

Just checked the score, Australia 7 wickets down, (England 1.47) Then I saw Smith was still at the crease! Immediate England Lay...greenmark wrote: ↑Fri Sep 13, 2019 3:42 pm2.00 for England looks generous if you expect Smith to repeat his previous performances.

I will be investing some of my draw profits from the first innings (backed at 7 layed at 4.1) to oppose eng at around the 1.30 mark.
If Australia can get them out cheaply for around 200 which is very possible with the quality bowling lineup and very out of form eng lineup then a target of 280ish is very achievable.
If goes to plan and there are a few early wickets in eng 2nd innings I will look to trade out at 1.6ish.
