South Africa ICC Champions Trophy betting odds

September 21, 2009

The ICC Champions Trophy returns this week after a 3 year break with 8 of the worlds best cricketing teams. The tour was postponed by a year and the venue moved from Pakistan to South Africa following concerns over security and safety of the teams and fans. The organisers of the event will be hoping to carry on the momentum created by the World Twenty20 campaign.

Australia are the current holders having won in Mumbai in 2006 and their recent decimation of England in the NatWest series shows what excellent form they are currently in. England however are struggling with injuries (Andrew Flintoff and Kevin Pietersen) they do however have Adil Rashid and Joe Denly who looked on good form in the Twenty20 matches.  However it is the host South Africa who have the best odds of 5/2 before the tournament begins.

If either England or New Zealand who are currently very outside bets end up winning the ICC Championship Trophy the bookmaker Boylesports are running a cash back offer and will refund all losing outright bets that are made on the match.

ICC Champions Trophy Outright Odds

  • 5/2 – South Africa
  • 7/2 – Australia

Can England Win the Ashes in 4th Test at Headingley?

August 6, 2009

England are 3/1 with bookmakerVictor Chandler to win the 4th Ashes Test at Headingley, a result which would see England regain the Ashes for the first time since 2005. 

With the series finely poised at 1-0 to England with only two tests to play, starting at Headingley on Friday 7th August, a win for England would clinch victory ahead of the final test at The Oval in a couple of weeks time. However, at the quoted odds of 3/1 it would appear that the bookies don’t rate England’s chances of winning with a test in hand!

Australia are a best price 13/8, also with Victor Chandler, to win which would see it go to The Oval with all to play for whilst the draw is the favoured outcome for the fourth test at 6/4 with Ladbrokes.

England are currently 5/6 (best odds) with Sportingbet to win the Ashes and that price could appear a great investment come Tuesday afternoon, whether you are collecting following an England win at Headingley or have the Draw and England win on your side going to the Oval. The Aussies have not looked as good in this series as they have in the past and England have a great opportunity to regain the Ashes four years on from those famous scenes in 2005.

England’s betting odds for the 3rd test of the Ashes

July 28, 2009

England are set to take on Australia at Edgbaston on Thursday in the third test of The Ashes series, the game will start at 11:00am and run to Monday 3rd August and can be watched live on Sky Sports and via the red button on Freeview as well as audio on Radio 5 live.

A win at Edgebaston for England would make them the firm favourites to win the Ashes with a 2-0 lead and it could be decided at the end of the 4th test at Headingly. However the Australian team will be regrouping and know that a win for them at Edgebaston could turn things around for them and put the odds in their favour.

3rd Test Match Betting

Flintoff is expected to be fit for the game and the 115-run second hero has recovered well after his amazing time at Lord’s exploits and he is expected to test his knee at the nets on Tuesday. He has been receiving specialist treatment on his knee with a special compression machine.

Friends Provident Final Betting Odds Can’t Seperate Sussex and Hampshire

July 24, 2009

Padddy Power’s betting odds for Saturday’s Friends Provident Trophy final at Lord’s can’t seperate the two team contesting the final, Sussex and Hampshire. The bookmaker go 5/6 about either side winning, both of whom have won the competition in recent years, Sussex in 2006 and Hampshire in 2005 and are lining up at Lord’s on the back of impressive performances in this year’s competition.

With the weather forecast predicting sun all day on Saturday, the chances of a full 100 overs are promising and judging by the wicket in the 2nd Ashes test last weekend, plenty of runs could be on the cards.

Bookies Odds Can’t Split England and Australia in Ashes 1st Test Betting

July 7, 2009

The bookies odds ahead of the first test of the 2009 Ashes between England and Australia suggest just how close the Series could be. Depending on which bookmakers odds you look at, you can back either Australia or England to get off to a winning start at the same odds of 9/4. Sportingbet are offering the best price about the Aussies, whilst Totesport are the only firm offering 9/4 that England take an early advantage in this five test series.

The favoured outcome of the game, which is being played at Cardiff’s SWALEC Stadium is the draw, which is best priced at 7/5 with any of Bet365, Paddy Power or Boylesports, however, with the weather forecasted to be good for the next five days, this game has a great chance of finishing in a positive result for either side, with the Cardiff wicket expected to suit swing ballers, a department which the Aussie’s appear to be lacking in, giving England a chance of going 1-0 up in the series – Ashes Series Betting.
