Funny story
I actually backed the Draw at 2.2 on Betfair on Tuesday after googling the weather forecast for Headingley and the first graphic that Google brought up was for rain on Friday, heavy rain on Saturday, & more rain on Sunday. I couldn’t get onto Betfair quick enough and couldn’t believe that the Draw was still odds-against.It was only after I backed the draw that I went back to Google and realised that I was looking at the 5-day weather forecast for Headingley in

M Johnson (res. B Lee)
Think Johnson is running into form and providing he concentrates on line and length rather than flat-out speed Headingley should be his type of pitch. Ditto Lee.
Tempted to split points on the draw with Mon and Tue looking dodgy weather-wise but IMO Australia will feel they have a better chance of squaring the series here than at The Oval so will be ‘up for it’ as they say.
