Take them as a double! 12,500/1! Why at those odds it's worth having... No
it's not.

A more interesting enquiry would be what the odds are for the total number
of Indian wickets that Oz take in this Test. Something <= 4 would have to
be favourite.

That's a bit ungenerous, the boy was opening on debut with a deficit of 400 and he ***ed them.  It was a fantastic knock.

That's nowhere near enough. The Feedback Reports and Dress Code must
be scrupulously filled out and adhered to.

It is not ungenerous, it is just injecting a note of caution, this is
after all only one innings.

Anybody can have one brilliant innings, Stuart Broad scored 169
against a good Pakistan attack coming in under immense pressure at
102/7 a few years ago, he is now having trouble lasting more that 10
balls and has only scored one 50 in 18 months.

Ravi Bopara came into the England squad and scored 3 sucessive
centuries against WI home and away and suddenly a lot of people were
hailing him as the answer to Englands problems at no 3. A few years
later he is a million miles away from the test squad let alone a place
in the team.
