Cricket - ODI NZ v Sri Lanka 31/12/05

[Citizen Kane]

NZTAB has NZ at 1.40 and SL at 2.80. On paper these sides are pretty even IMO, maybe SL a little stronger but with NZ at home this evens it up. At the above odds I would have to plump for SL. Couple of bets have caught my eye in the HTH batting. Like the look of Styris who should come in at 4 @ 1.70 v Cairns @ 2.00 who may come in as late as 7/8. Also fancy Jayasuriya @ 2.00 v Vincent @ 1.70, although both are hit and miss merchants in the shorter game, I favour Jays consistency over Vincent so at 2.00 is the bet for me. Couple of speculaters I like are 1st SL wicket to be bowled @ 6.00 (Shane Bond making a comeback) and Fulton to be top NZ scorer @ 7.50 (making debut and batting at 3). 1pt SL to win @ 2.80 1pt Jayasuriya to beat Vincent @ 2.00 1pt Styris to beat Cairns @ 1.70 0.5pt 1st SL wicket bowled @ 6.00 0.5pt top NZ bat Fulton @ 7.50 Cheers CK
