Soon to be retired retired cricketing legend has been tipped to end his career on a good note, with online bookmaker sportsbet pricing $7.00 for him to score a century in the first innings of the Perth Test.

“He wasn’t in the best form in Adelaide, but he is a legend and we are backing him to go out in style in Perth,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

In match betting, although the Aussies have been the best backed team, South Africa have firmed, in from $2.75 to $2.60.

Australia remains favourites despite drifting from $2.42 to $2.45, while the draw has drifted from $3.60 to $3.80.

“Once again the majority of the money has been for the Aussies, but South Africa have been popular with punters at long odds over the last 24 hours and been given a big chance,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.
