MacGILL TO PUT THE WINDIES IN A SPIN @ 9/1
Fr Nov 25 – Tu Nov 29 – 12.30 am (SS2)

As England continue their tour of Pakistan, there’s a slightly more one-sided (though no less interesting) Test series going on in Australia. The Baggy Greens already lead the series 2-0, going into the final test in Adelaide which starts on Friday. The omens are not good for the West Indies. They’re dogged by infighting, Lara is out of form, and Australia have won 11 of the last 13 contests between these two, so it’s not surprising they’re quoted at 1/6. There’s always value if you look hard enough, and for me Stuart MacGill at 9/1 for man of the match is a standout bet.

MacGill has the best strike rate of any modern spin bowler, better even than Warne and Muralitharan, yet is often overlooked by the selectors. His line and length may not be as consistent as Shane Warne’s but in the 11 Test matches they’ve played in together, MacGill has taken more wickets on no fewer than nine occasions. Adelaide is traditionally a spinning pitch, and don’t worry about Australia’s reputation for not competing in dead rubbers. They have a point to prove to their public after losing the Ashes, and with Clarke, Gillespie and Martyn now seemingly out of the picture, competition is hot for the forthcoming visit of South Africa.

Australia v West Indies (3rd Test) Pick:

Stuart MacGill – Man of the Match @ 9/1.
