First 20/20 begins 5.30 tonight; another tomorrow same time. Both at the Oval.
First game odds: Eng 2/5. Windies 9/5.
Windies very new to this malarkey and in their warm up games have swung from being dire to not bad. This stuff can be a betting lottery, and if weather intervenes, a D/L farce. Wd suggest big time not to get on England for one reason: crap odds.
Windies is worth a tickle but you're pretty much betting on Chris Gayle, skipper and opener, giving it the biffo and staying there for 6 or 7 overs.
Looks like Trott will play, not Bell, and our new SA chum could do a KP and fire from the off in an England pyjama top.
Cook to open with Prior mooted for England, nowhere near the two best 20/20 openers in England.
Windies highest score first 6 overs @ 6/5 at 5pts
Trott H/S England @ 6/1 at 2pts

stakes recommended!
