i don't really understand why the betting odds are almost the same for us and India

would have thought they can slow the game down enough, if they really need to, to stop us winning. Whereas much more plausible than us winning is that we lose wickets this morning and it all ends a bit limply.

Not to say it's impossible that we bat out for a draw, though not that likely. But don't understand the betting odds at all.
