[The One]

Pakistan to hit back hard in the 2nd odi @ $1.70

Pakis are a much better one-day unit than england especially in their own backyard... pakistan should come back and comfortably win the series

$1.75 for me and I agree - Pakis to win Game 2

Also taking them to win the toss - $1.95

good luck

[sports freak]

You're game BG, you're very very game.

statistically wise over the past 10 years there has been a home bias with respect to the toss. poms won it in game 1, got to roll with the home side in game 2

obviously you can't cap this, relying more on stats

in what respect?

[Bolar Bolabi]

Well, technically in a 2 horse race - it's 50/50. Especially in one day cricket.

Getting a bet right for winning the toss is 50/50.

So if you think about it, choosing a team to win the toss is basically the same risk as choosing a team to win overall. Both 50/50 shots and both unpredictable. Just ask Australia when they lost to Bangladesh a few months ago.

you do realise a chunk of metal has no memory nor respect for its predecessors' fortunes

sorry, it's not 50/50. A tie can occur, just like how the little ball can land on the duck egg in roulette.

Good work Bolar, I think you're onto something there.

right Bolar, go look at the recent stats from one day cricket on how often the favourite has won. :retard:

And Australia beating Bangladesh was akin to Stephen Bradbury winning gold at the last Winter Olympics - highly unpredictable outcomes do occur, hence why they are called upsets.

[Bolar Bolabi]

England win toss and are batting.

Pakistan's odds have now gone better.

I just got them to win @ $1.95

[Bolar Bolabi]

Also on:

First man out: Matthew Prior V Marcus Trescothick.

Matthew Prior @ $1.80

Younis Khan V Mohammad Yusuf - Most runs.

Mohammad Yusuf @ $1.90

[Bolar Bolabi]

Trescothick just got out. Bastard!
