Australia is under mounting pressure against a highly-rated South African pace attack even before a ball is let fly in the crucial three test series starting tomorrow, according to the money with leading bookmaker Luxbet!

Media chief Neil Evans said the Proteas were dominating just about every key book ahead of the GABBA 1st Test, firming from $2.60 into $2.25 to win in Brisbane and even more staggering from $2.25 into $1.97 in the best-of-three-series!

“We’ve taken a string of bets up to $2,000.00 in the last 24 hours, and from the moment South Africa started shortening a week ago, the trend hasn’t changed,” Evans said. “The toss will be crucial. There’s enough grass on the track to provide some day one fireworks, and neither side wants to be into their tail order by tea on the first day! “In fact, South Africa commands 85 per cent of all monies leading up to the Test! Surely, Australia isn’t goin g that bad, and I fear the market is under-stating the damage our attack might do in Brisbane!”

Australia has eased from $2.70 out to $2.85 to win the GABBA Test, and from $2.75 out to $2.80 for the Series. Either way, punters are tipping results! A Drawn Test in Brisbane is $3.25 out to $3.65, while a Drawn Series now looks over the odds, blowing from $3.80 out to $4.60!

South African speedster Dale Steyn is a $9.00 Player of the Match favourite on Luxbet in a very wide market!
