We like the 21/10 on offer for the 1st test between England and New Zealand ending in a draw.

Lords is a good batting track, the last 4 tests here have ended in a draw. Although the forecasts for the weekend are sketchy at the moment bad weather looks a distinct possibility over the weekend.

The draw in currently trading shorter than 2/1 on betfair and could well go lower before Thursdays start.

Recommended bet - £300 ( 6 points ) Eng v New Zealand 1st test DRAW - Bet365 21/10   WON

Take Victor Chandlers 4/6 on Delhi to get the highest 6 over total in tomorrows IPL Cricket match.

Dravid's Bangalore are is disarray and have shown no intent with the bat. There last 6 over totals have beem 23,50 and 35 as opposed to Delhi's 68,48 and 37. So with the help of deadly duo of Sehwag and Gambir averaging 15 points more than Bangalore's openers over the last 3 games, we have to take the 4/6.

Recommended bet - £300 ( 6 points ) Delhi Highest 6 over total 4/6 Victor Chandler  WON

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 7/4 on offer for COOK to be top England bat is their 1st innings is well worth an interest. Standing on 43 not out overnight, he is building a solid platform to make a big score. He looked in decent nick today and we fancy him strongly to press on and make the bet a winner.

Recommended Bet -  £200 ( 4 Points ) 7/4 A.COOK Top England 1st Innings Batsman - Stan James  LOST

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Take the 8/11 on offer for the Mumbai Indians to outscore Kolkata in the 1st 6 overs of todays IPL clash.

Jayasuriya hit a 45 ball ton in his last game and with Tendulkar at the crease with him a fast start is likely. In contrast Kolkata are slow out of the blocks and 8/11 is well worth a punt.

Recommended Bet - £220 (4.4 points) Mumbai Indians, highest 6 over total v Kolkata 8/11 Sky Bet, Boylesports, Victor chandler. WON

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Take Boylesports 10/11 on the Deccan Chargers to get the Highest 6 over total in todays IPL match.

With Gilchrist opening with Gibbs early fireworks usually ensue. There is talk again that the huge hitting Alfridi could partner Gilchrist up from which would be a massive bonus for this bet. Delhi's openers Sehwag and Gambir and capable of scoring too, but Deccan have a good edge for us.

Recommended bet - £220 ( 4.4 points ) Deccan Chargers highest 6 over total 10/11 Boylesports.  WON

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Blue Squares 7/2 on the highest individual score being between 25 and 49 is well worth a bet in todays IPL clash between Kolkata and Delhi.

The Kolkata track is by far the worst in the Premier league, producing scores of 110, 137 and 127 so far in the first innings. With another low scoring affair probale it will be tough for any batsman to score 50 or more. Blue Squares 7/2 looks way to high for us.

Recommended bet £100 ( 2 points ) - Highest Individual score between 25-49 - 7/2 - BLUE SQUARE  WON

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We like the look of match sixes over 11.5 in todays IPL match between chennai and Punjab.

Chennia has the smallest bounderies of all the IPL grounds and with the likes of Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh and Morkel on display today 12 sixes should easily be obtainable.

Recommended bet - £300 ( 6 points ) over 11.5 match sixes - Skybet 5/6  WON

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We like the 4/5 on offer with Boylesports on GLOUCESTER to score more runs than Glamorgan in the 1st 15 overs match bet.

With the likes of big hitting Hamish Marshall, Spearman and co in the top order for Gloucester compared to the much more conservative Glamorgan openers, this really should be no contest.

The spreads make Gloucester around 8 runs favourite in the same market which backs up our strong view here.

Recommended bet £500 ( 10 points ) Gloucester highest 15 over total 4/5 BOYLESPORTS   LOST

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once again we believe there is a bit of value to be had with BET365 in their match Performance Markets.

Take the 5/6 on Paul Harris to score 86 or more points ( 20 points a wicket, 10 a catch and 1 point a run.)

The Chennai track has been touted as a " Spinners Paradise ". Harris, being South Africa`s only specialist spinner in the team sure must bag a few wickets. Any runs / catches will be a bonus.

Recommended bet £240 @ 5/6 BET365   LOST

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another Mistake from Bet365 in our opinion, Daniel Vettori`s match performance has been pitched to low at 108.

Sporting index go 128-136 based on the same points system. He`s been in good from with the bat and his Spin should play a much bigger role in this test.

Recommended bet £180 5/6 Over 108 in Bet 365s match performance market.  WON

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another low quote from BET365, Michael Vaughan`s match performace at over 79 @ 5/6

Again, he`s in good form with the bat and could take a wicket or a catch.

His run spreads alone are more than the 79 quote.

Recommended bet £180 5/6 over 79 Match Performance with Bet 365. LOST

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bet 365 seem to have underpriced some of the player performances in the third test starting tonight.

The scenario being a points system, 1 point for a run, 10 points a catch and 20 points for a wicket.

Napier is expected to be a batsmans paradise and Kevin Pietersen should score heavily. Sporting index have his runs alone pitched at 90-95 so over 86 with bet365 is a must bet. With the advantage of the extra points for a catch + Pieterson can bowl spin and take a wicket or two. The Napier pitch won`t seam like Hamilton did to he could well pick up a wicket where the Spinners should come in to the game more.

This is a strong play in our opinion.

Recommended bet £300 @ 5/6 Pieterson match performance over 86 Bet 365  WON

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Take BET365s 5/6 on Daniel Vettori`s match performace in the Second test starting tonight at 112 or over.

He`s in great form with the bat and is also NZ`s main threat as a bowler. The spread boys go 122-130 on the same market, 112 is a steal. Points are awarded 1 point a run, 10 points a catch and 20 points a wicket.

Recommended bet £300 @ 5/6  LOST

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Take Totesports 7/2 on Sri Lanka to win this dead rubber.

Their form has been poor in the series so far, however the Aussies are notoriously poor in these meaningless matches. Expect several team changes and a possible shock.

Recommended stake £100 @ 7/2 Sri Lanka, Totesport  WON
