Trescothick and Tendulkar batting favourites as India v England series gets go ahead
CricInfo - 1 December 2001

Marcus Trescothick is favourite with Ladbrokes to be England's leading scorer in the First Test which begins at Mohali on Monday. The inexperienced Indian pace attack may give the aggressive Trescothick the opportunity to accumulate quick runs early on, before the spinners start to exert more control as the innings progresses. Further down the order, Craig White (14/1) is attractively priced, behind all-rounder rival Flintoff (10/1).

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Sachin Tendulkar dominates the Indian odds. The little master is 11/4 to be India's top batsman in the match, with Dravid (4/1) Das, Ganguly and Laxman (all 5/1). Of the outsiders, wicketkeeper Dasgupta (14/1) could be seen to offer good value, having successfully operated as stand-in opener in the latter stages of the South Africa tour.

India remain hot favourites for the series (1/4) but the odds on England (7/1) have shortened with the Indians' comprehensive defeat in South Africa, discord over selection, and England's morale-boosting win over India A last week all factors in the visitors' favour. However, the perceived inbalance between the sides is reflected in the short price for a 3-0 Indian series victory (5/2).
