dave Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 England v Zimbabwe T Taibu +0.5 runs to beat M Vermeulen @ 1.91 Vermeulen's last 10 ODI innings read (most recent first) 17, 25, 20, 4, 14*, 1, 2, 5, 36, 6. His record outside Zimbabwe reads 14*, 1, 2, 5, 22. Taibu is the only Zimbabwean player I really rate at the moment, and while he does sometimes get out early in his innings, I expect him to outscore Vermeulen.

dave Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 Sri Lanka v Zimbabwe M Atapattu -0.5 runs to beat S Jayasuriya @ 1.9 Jayasuriya is a quality player but extremely inconsistent, and often takes a couple of innings to get into his stride. Atapattu in his last 9 innings has scored (most recent first) 97*, 26, 64, 65, 8, 19, 50, 38, 21*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 Re: Sri Lanka v Zimbabwe Another straight forward winner, Jayasuriya out for just 2, Attapatu already past that score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave Posted September 16, 2004 Author Share Posted September 16, 2004 Australia v New Zealand Australia to beat NZ @ 1.43 A lot of people have been talking up the chances of New Zealand here, but looking at the facts makes this price look remarkable. Quite simply, Australia are still way ahead of any other team in World cricket. Australia have beaten the Kiwis in the last 6 meetings. Two of these meetings have been in the big tournaments, and on those occassions the Aussies won by 164 runs and 96 runs. Australia have been seen by some people to be a bit vulnerable, but that is just ridiculous - they have lost just 2 in their last 18 games, both narrow defeats away to Sri Lanka. New Zealand have had a long summer, with the Test Series and Natwest Series, and their recent ODI record is less impressive when you see that recent wins have been against the weak WI and England sides, and the woefully out of form South Africans.

dave Posted September 17, 2004 Author Share Posted September 17, 2004 Sri Lanka v Engkland V Solanki +0.5 runs to beat M Trescothick @ 1.92 Solanki has been in excellent form this summer, and has finally looked like he might fulfill his obvious potential. Trescothick has struggled with only one 50 in ODIs, and his game will be less suited than Solanki's to the Sri Lankan bowling attack.

Guest TazaD Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Re: Sri Lanka v Engkland Good work in here dave. :clap Just after a bit of advice (from anyone!).... ..In a fantasy league for this ICC Cup...Captain gets double points....and today (before the Eng/SL game) is the last chance to change the team. So...It stands to logic that I'd want my captain to be in a team that will win their last pool game...therefore getting (at least) 2 more games instead of 1. So (longwinded, I know! :lol ), I'm asking who you think will win each of the 3 remaining pool games? Thanks mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hawksteel Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 ICC Weekend Treble Aside from the suggestion above, went ahead and did a small treble on the weekend games: England 1.6 South Africa 1.55 Pakistan 1.75 Comes out to be slightly over 4.0. England seems to be in really good form, ODI or otherwise. The South Africa/West Indies game seems a bit worrisome, but I think the Windies are more out of form than SA. Pakistan seems to have the edge over India, but being the tag or last game, you can middle the treble on Sunday should you want to save your risk if the two first games survive.

dave Posted September 19, 2004 Author Share Posted September 19, 2004 India v Pakistan Solanki would have beaten Trescothick, had it not been for a dreadful dropped catch early in Trescothick's innings. Anyway onto the next bet. S Ganguly +0.5 runs to beat V Sehwag @ 1.8 Very difficult to understand this price, Sehwag has been woeful recently, while Ganguly has just hit back to back 90s.

dave Posted September 21, 2004 Author Share Posted September 21, 2004 England v Australia Just in profit (though only just) after Ganguly's failure. I think the layers have got the match odds for this one just about right, with Australia 1.47 and England 3.05, but there is one bet that stands out to me. Australia to score highest first 15 over total @ 1.6 You only have to look at the batting orders of these sides to see who is likely to score quickly early on. Australia have Gilchrist, Hayden, Ponting as the top 3. Solanki and Trescothick are capable of quick runs, but I don't expect them to both last too long. Then comes Vaughan who is very ordinary right now and Andrew Strauss isn't really a one-day player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave Posted September 21, 2004 Author Share Posted September 21, 2004 Re: England v Australia Australia score 76/2 in their first 15, which is pretty good given that they are batting first.

Guest chair leg Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 thanks for that link hmmm, 76 ... I got $1.66 on the same bet, and 76 is slightly below what I'd expected... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave Posted September 21, 2004 Author Share Posted September 21, 2004 Re: thanks for that link Anything over 75 (5/over) is good. England will have to bat well to beat that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chair leg Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 thoughts... Would have been a much better bet had Australia batted 2nd... (one that wins about 80% IMO) even if England had scored a lowish total batting 1st Australia would have gone hard enough early... Now if Australia score a largish total, it will disadvantage the bet, because England may feel they need to knock a few of the runs off early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave Posted September 21, 2004 Author Share Posted September 21, 2004 Re: thoughts... Honestly, it is still a good bet. If you were worried about who was batting first, then you should have waited until after the toss to place the bet. And the team batting 2nd does not generally win 80% of the matches. It has been high in this tournament because of when it is held, but normally it is actually about 50-50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chair leg Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 ... do any of the UK books offer over or under runs in the 1st 15 overs? I'd have made the Australia total about 80 and the England total about 70 ... how about over or under for the 50 overs? I see bet365 updates this in running... Under 283 (50 overs) 1.83 Bet Add 283 and Over (50 overs) 1.83 anyone know what it opened at before the first ball? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave Posted September 21, 2004 Author Share Posted September 21, 2004 Re: ... I don't know of any that do over/under for the first 15 overs, though there are probably spread betting bookies with markets on first 15 overs runs. Not sure what the over/under was, but I'd guess about 250, given that they are batting first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chair leg Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 6's How do england's batsmen rate at being a threat to hit 6's? I know flintoff is a big threat, and vaughn and collingwood rarely hit them, how do the others rate, particularly solanki and strauss?

Guest hawksteel Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Re: 6's Well I can't believe I forgot to up some money for England, but woulda lost some of it on Pakistan. Now its England vs. Windies yet again.. frankly England is in super form, and are very familiar with the Windies and how to deal with them. The Windies themselves are on a nice run, though Pakistan made for a horrific showing and South Africa didn't really display much either. Doesn't seem to be a whole lot of value in England overall (1.6 or so).. so it's props I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Postman Pat Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 England v West Indies. With regard to the final on Saturday. Whoever bowls first then back. (as long as it is not too windy) Dew on the ground makes the ball swing alot more than usual. Especially with this white ball. Two pretty evenly matched sides here IMO. Windies beat us in the recent ODI but we are a better side now and have the confidence following a win over Australia. Semi Finals. Windies bowled first (won) England bowled first (won) Quarters (India v Pakistan) Pakistan bowled first (won) (South Africa v West Indies) Windies bowled first (won) (England v Sri Lanka) SL bowled first lost (rain affected england also got to bowl the following morning) (Australia v New Zealand) Australia bowled first (won) The rest of the games were mis-matches with poor side taking part. England are a better chasing side anyway. I just hope we win the toss. System has stood me well towards the end of the domestic one day matches and this tournement, so far. Late Summer weather affects cricket quite alot. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chair leg Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 yep one dayers are a bit of a joke, toss winner wins far too often to call it "fair". what was inzy thinking batting 1st!
