3rd ODI on Friday at 1:30pm.
Now, I see the following as good prices – they stand out from the other bookies quoting the same players.
Corals go:
Top Bat WI – L Simmons
15/2
Top Bat Eng – R Bopara
11/2
I know neither are the respective "star" performers for their sides.
Both look in good enough touch, though, and assuming Simmons opens for WI – 15/2 is surely wide of the mark?
Your thoughts, Gents?

According to Oddschecker, you can get 12-1 about Simmons being top West Indies scorer with P Power and Boylesports. I know Chanderpaul and Sarwan must be favourites, but 12-1 does seem rather high.
As does the 101 for Dwayne Bravo with Bluesquare and 888. Is he injured?
I haven’t got a PP or Bsports account. If I do get an internet account it would be Betfair. I’ll be limping (sprained ankle) to Corals tmrw morning – it’s the only one near to where I’m working.
12/1 is definitely massive for an opening batsman!!
There do not seem to be any injury worries for the windies, only cash worries: http://www.sportinglife.com/cricket/new … spute.html
Othewrise, I do not see why Brave is so over-priced

Oops – I was looking at series top runscorer!
Bravo is around 6-1 for this game, rather mean in the circs.
Good article on Cricinfo by Tony Cozier about the players actions. Probably right to demand more remuneration from the inept WICB but a little short-sighted in view of the financial realities of the sport in the Caribbean.
So, I poodle off to Corals to obtain those fabulous advertised prices on my selections…to find out that:
Simmons 11/2 (top Windies bat)
Bopara 9/2 (top Eng bat)
I checked the prices on oddschecker.com at approx 10:30am this morning and they were still 17/2 & 11/2 respectively. Maybe the prices were incorrect on oddckr – or maybe the bats have been nibbled in the interim time?
Anyone else had a wager?

Ladbrokes is the same with the football coupon with the Internet odds in the main are better than the shop prices, don’t ask me why. probably to encourage people to open accounts perhaps.

Geez, I really didn’t think the online prices would differ from the shop.

Not for the first time this winter, I feel the need to ask, WTF was that????
Loved watching Nasser Hussain get steamed up after the game. He’ll do himself an injury if he carries on like that.
Looking forward to reading all about how KP feels tomorrow. What new trauma will have occurred in the great man’s life that he feels he needs to share with us? Lumpy pillows in the hotel? His steak underdone? ‘My Main Course Hell’ – exclusive interview with the greatest ever former England captain.
$1.55m? I wouldn’t pay ’em in washers.
