Punters with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au are divided as to whether or not the nation’s most famous ‘punter’, Ricky Ponting, will remain as Australia’s Test captain next summer.
“Punters are divided on whether or not Ponting will lead the Test side next summer, but what they are certain of is Michael Clarke will be his replacement whenever the time comes,” sportsbet.com.au’s Haydn Lane said.
“Clarke got out to $1.33 to be the next Test captain during his form slump in the Ashes but has now been backed solidly again into $1.08.”
Ponting’s men are the $2.20 outsiders to defeat India ($1.67) in tomorrow night’s Cricket World Cup quarter final and are on the fourth line of betting at $6.00 to win the tournament.
