Lets look at eng's performances vs the minnows in each of the last 3 T20 WCs shall we..?
2007 vs Zims. http://www.espncricinfo.com/twenty20wc/engine/match/287858.html
ok, eng won by 50 runs but closer inspection of the scorecard shows they were 20/2 after 2.4 overs and that zims were
74/0 in reply after 8.4 overs
so you'd expect eng to have traded at least 1.25 - 1.30 in those moments,
possibly at lot more if the market panics. I think eng started as 1.1 favs or thereabouts
2009 vs Holland
http://www.espncricinfo.com/wt202009/engine/match/355991.html
erm... Holland chase down 163, 1.03 or 1.04 gubbed to feck on eng here i think
2010 vs Ireland http://www.espncricinfo.com/world-twenty20-2010/engine/match/412681.html
eng bowled out for 120. Eng traded approx 1.9 at one point before the rain came. (wiping out a massive green on my screen
)
Afghans been the best of the minnows so far with a very decent bowling performance against india. Have had a mug back at 19.5

agree Afghanistan worth a go here....saw them against India, if it wasnt for their poor fielding they would have won
|
|
By:
think England can hit higher than 1.30 in-play for sure
|
|
By:
Signing in - will always remember that Holland game - we all got paid big time!!
|
|
By:
yep got paid big time, remember backing the Dutch at odds of 50 in that game, one of my best wins ever........
|
|
By:
minnows have been pretty dissapointing so far (Ireland, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe) but Afghanistan are different, they give fight
|
|
By:
a really good bet here is sportingbets handicap market on the afghans. evens for +7.5 wkts or 57.5 runs.
|
|
By:
yep laying the 1.06 .
|
|
By:
i love an outsider but have you been on the old whacky backy again Lix
|
|
By:
er.... see my opening post. how can you argue against it?
 |
|
By:
Can't see anything but a dominant ENG win...Love odds but can't see anything out of the ordinary happening! Finn Dernbach will be too much..thats before swann and broad even come into the equation. I'm going for a bowler to take 5 or more wickets @7.2 can see Finn getting a hat-full!!!

afghans win the toss!! bowling first...

Past Performance Is Not an Indication of Future Results
 |

Of course it is. how do winners win money? lucky guessing??

thoughts on the total innings runs from England?
170+ is 1.75!! Seems a tad high, the indians batted well! |
|
By:
It's T20 anyone backing 1.05 should be shot.
|
|
By:
Lix that sportingbet handicap seems decent, can't seem to find it though, you got a link to the market by any chance? cheers
|
|
By:
I layed England 1.05 and backed at 1.07. +0.00 England and +170.00 Afghan, hope to have some fun in play.
cnman they would have taken it off after toss cnman |

By:
ok guys i do understand cricket but dont back it like some of you guys so bear with me,am i right in thinking this is a slow spinners track? which will nullify englands pace bowlers, also england may struggle against fidelly spinners which makes me think no matter the result england should trade, any sense to that guys
|
|
By:
ENG will get 160+ here no worries
|
|
By:
yup, it's at the premadasa stadium which suits spinners.
|
|
By:
Afghan will be bowled out definitely less than 100.
India aren't that strong - look how they played against NZ in the last test |
|
By:
your right india are weak because they didnt thrash New Zealand - look how badly New Zealand played against Bangladesh they only won by 50+ runs...
|
|
By:
not a chance..Eng all the way!
|
|
By:
I can't say I know much about afghan team, but they did alright v Aus aswell so they aren't complete pushovers.
|
|
By:
Aussie are also nothing to write home about

Remember folks England are top 2 in the world at all disciplines - the big dogs if you like
|

By:
nigel England are more than likely to win but they will trade higher than present.
|
|
By:
I can see nigel on here later telling us all how he successfully tipped a 1.05 shot...
|

|
By:
Because England are not amazing and Afghan's gave India a bit of a game, so I don't see why they don't do the same to England. It's on a low scoring ground which means more likely to be a tight game. England runs pk 168.
