Australi v India-Test Series Review,South Africa v West Indies ODI Series Preview & Live Cricket Trading Room Launching

Hello and welcome back,
Australia v India:

A great contest ended today.India won the third Test match by 72 runs against Australia.Frankly i think winner is game of cricket :-) in last because too many bad things happened between Sydney Test and this match.This match also produced some good trading opportunities mainly because of market love for Australia.But as someone rightly quoted in betfair cricket forum on a query that what odds would be offered if India or England chasing 413 runs in 4th innings,his answer was 15+ because they have never won 16 Tests in a row!.
Australia was 1.41 prematch for this match and i've noticed that those who love straight bet takes these odds.Whether it is profitable or not but in more than 80% matches in last 10 matches (from memory) short odds favourite teams odds are lengthen inplay.I'm working on samples and these are few examples from recent matches:
1.South Africa v New Zealand> 2 Test matches in which SA odds was 1.6x prematch and traded at 1.9+ in both matches.
2.Sri Lanka v England> 3 Test match in which Lanka traded higher than prematch during inplay (don't know exact odds range).
3.South Africa v West Indies> 3 Test match and in 2 matches SA traded at much higher (inplay) than prematch.
4.Australia v India> 3 Test match so far and in all three Australia traded much higher inplay than prematch.
I'm collecting more data for both Test match & limited overs game and after analysis i will publish results here.If you have any data please let me know.

South Africa v West Indies, ODI series preview:
Yesterday we saw 2nd Twenty20 match in which there was massive odds movement in 2nd innings.Lets hope it will continue in ODI's also.
West Indies batting is weak without Gayle and very unpredictable (with Gayle also) although i think there bowling attack is much better in recent times.
So plan for this series is that if West Indies is batting in any inning then only think of backing SA at good odds like 1.6+ because West Indies may collapse anytime.And if SA is batting then think laying SA in short odds if comes early.All the best for the series.
