Yep, but Baxter has been playing really well and he had the best odds of the night (other than the draw and Taylor's opponent). Anyway, you just cover your bet with a punt on Jenkins to draw his match

Baxter is in form,yes.I'd probably pick against Baxter every week and consider it a minor upset if he gets a result.He's surprised me so far.
Yeah it might be worth looking at 8-6 both ways in Jenkins' games.He seems to be in close games with everyone.
There is 5/4 for Over 8.5 180's in the Whitlock/Lewis game-9 maximums in 14 legs??I wouldn't put it past these two.Still won't bother I don't think

As for the cricket,it seems as though Carberry will get a go at the top of the order.There was talk of Trott opening and bringing in another bowler.If they have taken this tour lightly enough to rest Strauss then they might aswell give Carberry a go in the Tests regardless of his performance in the warm up

Cricinfo have this as the probable team:

England (probable) 1 Alastair Cook (capt), 2 Michael Carberry, 3 Jonathan Trott, 4 Kevin Pietersen, 5 Paul Collingwood, 6 Ian Bell, 7 Matt Prior (wk), 8 Stuart Broad, 9 Tim Bresnan, 10 Graeme Swann, 11 James Tredwell

Only 2 seamers.Batting all the way down though.Tredwell has opened for Kent in the past unless I'm mistaken.

[Beeston Brawler]

Do you reckon Panesar has played his last Test?

I'd be surprised if they can't break Bangladesh down with that attack, Broad is improving, Bresnan is decent (no more no less) - a lot rests on how well Swann does.

Their seam attack is awful, though their spinners aren't that bad I guess.

[djoc175]

Probably but who knows.A good season and he's back in contention.He is certainly out of favour.

Swann is obviously the number 1 spinner.Tredwell might just be an experiment because this is only Bangladesh.Adil Rashid might even be next in line and there are a few young spinners out there on the county scene.

I'd probably fuck Panesar off altogether unless he has an incredible 50+ wicket season or something.He can't bat for shit and he's a clown in the field.I don't think his bowling is good enough to make up for that,he's not Murali.

[Beeston Brawler]

Yeah, that's pretty much my take.

They need to be 1st division wickets as well..... it's taken a while but the idea of two division cricket has worked.

Lille 0 Handicap vs. Liverpool,Pana vs. Standard, Man U vs. Fulham

20 to win 60!

[TheGeezer]

Paq vs Clottey is 11/8 (Boylesports) to go the distance. I don't think Clottey will be stopped and I can't see Clottey being quick enough or throwing enough to stop Pac.

Man I can't believe Panantinakos lost. Anyone watched that game?

I seen a few of them during the league season and Cisse has been playing great, id figure he would continue the run of good form, especially vs. a smaller caliber Belgian team.

Surely you can't see Clottey doing enough to win the fight on points?You might aswell bet on Pac by decision at 7/4

[China_hand_Joe]

I reckon they have the "going the distance price" just about right.
Not because Clottey can be hurt easily, but because of his questionable stamina.

If he tires and the volume he is throwing back against Pacman diminishes, no referee is going to have problems calling the stoppage, given the respective fame of the two fighters.

[skel1983]

Bit early but United 4/5 to beat Liverpool next week, bit bias but that is a good price giving current form and how shite Liverpool are away.

[China_hand_Joe]

Scraping the barrell bet for tonight...

Soto - Diaz over 8.5
Gomez - Castillo over 8.5
Double @ 9/6-ish

[JonOli]

I've got a free ten quid bet with BetWay.

I think I'm going to stick it on Clotty at 5/1
