ashes first test

  1. 24 Posts.
    For anyone interested in a bit of a punt on the first test, I found this market quite interesting, its on one of the mainstream Australian internet betting sites, not sure if I can name it on this site or not..

    Its a market for player performance in the first test, it works as follows,
    Player gets 1 pt per run, 10pts per catch, 20 pts per wicket, 25 pts for wicket keeper per stumping.
    Game has to enter 3rd innings for bets to stand.

    Below is a list of the players and the over/under points market for each player, the over/under is about $1.90 for each give or take

    Alastair Cook 60.5
    Andrew Strauss 74.5
    Ben Hilfenhaus 90.5
    Brad Haddin 90.5
    Doug Bollinger 89.5
    Graeme Swann 105.5
    Ian Bell 62.5
    James Anderson 85.5
    Jonathan Trott 69.5
    Kevin Pietersen 69.5
    Marcus North 64.5
    Matt Prior 79.5
    Michael Hussey 65.5
    Paul Collingwood 69.5
    Ricky Ponting 80.5
    Shane Watson 100.5
    Simon Katich 70.5
    Steven Finn 65.5
    Stuart Broad 90.5
    Mitchell Johnson 105.5

    I am not the most avid cricket follower but do fancy Mitchell Johnson on the overs, reckon the way to go is the 20 points per wicket taken and he is also not the worst Ive seen with the bat.
    From the Pommy side, I reckon Jimmy Anderson could be in for a big series and the over 85.5 looks tempting.
    Also Collingwood & Watson are on my radar.

    They are just my thoughts and would happily like to be corrected if anyone has any different views who should go well at the Gabba !!
