Hamilton, March 30: Australia8217;s record-breaking cricketers have not just banished opposition teams in recent months, they have also frightened away punters.
8220;You can8217;t really blame them,8221; CentreBet spokesman Gerard Daffy said. 8220;Punters in Australia are used to betting on teams at a backable quote and now we8217;ve had to serve them up so short that they don8217;t worry about it.8221;
8220;This team, under Steve Waugh, just attacks all the time and they just don8217;t give up and it8217;s killed cricket betting for the time being. Even the people that back outsiders in cricket matches have disappointed. Why waste your money?8221;
Bookmakers expect the streak to continue over the next five days, installing Australia as the 4-7 odds on favourite to win the third Test in Hamilton, with New Zealand pushed out to 6-1 against.
