I will keep a running balance of profit/loss per £100 level stakes for all games based on the prices available just prior to the toss. We should get decent prices as usual, especially in tests in 12 months time i am totally confident that an enormous profit will be the end result:) The asian sides have a conveyor belt of talent coming through and this will manifest itself in them dominating the cricketing world for years to come. Aussies have probably another year or so left before they wane after the loss of some big guns.....i believe that by end 2008, india and Pakistan will prove my prophecy to be spot on as they occupy the top 2 spots, with Lanka and Aussies fighting out 3rd place, the road to that destination starts this Saturday with Pak V Windies, you can laugh, or you can hop on the plane and enjoy the ride:)

Common perception seems that india will also suffer in England and Australia...but history suggest they don't suffer on those pitches as they do on saffers ones. India's highest test score ever is in England, Pakistan's highest ever test score is in Australia, of the 16 tons scored by Indian batsmen against England in last 10 years, 80% have come in England Just a couple of stats that indicate that it will be a mistake to assume that the Asian teams will struggle as they did in S.A wickets. The good news for me is that people will indeed continue to believe that is why lanka were big odds against England.that is why India will be very very generous price in england australia and like i said earlier, I am pleased that that perception continues Possible around 30 criteria games in 7 weeks I will be more then happy to come on here after the cup final and accept that i was wrong and being optimistic. ........"
