Smad Place is better over further but is still proven over the distance of today’s race.

England Can Beat Australia In The ODI Format
England have sent for cavalry for the five match One Day International series against Australia and the first meeting begins in Melbourne at 3.20 tomorrow morning. The four-nil drubbing in the Ashes series was a one-sided affair but England can bounce back in the limited overs format. Australia won the last World Cup in which both teams bat for 50 overs but England beat them in the Champions Cup last year. Eoin Morgan has taken over from Joe Root as captain and the reinforcements make England better equipped to give Australia a game. The hosts will also make changes but they could weaken the team so ENGLAND should be backed at 7/4 with Ladbrokes to beat the Aussies this time.
