ICC Champions Trophy
Starts Fr Sep 10
This event, second only to the World Cup in terms of quality,
should make for some exciting cricket over the course of the
16 days of the competition. The winners of the four groups
will advance to the semi-final stage, with favourites Australia
arguably in the hardest of all, Group A, which should go down
to a match against their rivals New Zealand on September 16th.
Granted the World Champions have won 13 of their last 16 contests,
including two against England this summer, but at 11/8 in
our outright market look too short considering that there
is a chance that the Kiwis could upset them.
The winner of Group A would be almost certainly be up against
either England or Sri Lanka in the semi's, with England coming
in for support since their victory over India in the Nat west
Challenge. Michael Vaughan's men were certainly impressive
in the first two matches there, and will have the assistance
of Andrew Flintoff, who missed England's defeat by India at
the weekend. There is no doubting the importance of Flintoff
to England's chances, with the all-rounder averaging a phenomenal
85.5 runs in his last 14 one-day internationals over the past
twelve months.
He look's good value at 5/1 on our 'Top England Batsman'
market, although England could be found wanting in the latter
stages of the competition. In the other half of the draw South
Africa look to have the easiest Group task, and then would
be required to play either India or Pakistan in the other
semi. The match between the latter two at Edgbaston on September
19th should be a highly charged encounter, with India perhaps
just getting the edge before succumbing to the Proteas. To
summarise, at this stage South Africa look worth an each way
interest at 13/2, with a speculative wager on New Zealand
at 9/1 in the hope they can do us a favour by beating Australia.
