£100,000 Riding On The Draw – As Punters Say Neither Attack Has 20 Wickets!

The vast majority of bets placed with Hill’s for the 2nd Test against the West Indies are for the Draw and Hill’s are now 1/1 half the price of the original 2/1 quote. England are offered at 1/1 with the West Indies 15/2 outsiders and Kevin Pietersen is the 11/4 to be England’s top run scorer over the Test. Hill’s also offer 10/1 for Harmison to take five or more wickets in the West Indies first innings.

“Even if the weather behaves, punters cannot see twenty wickets in either bowling attack and our liabilities for the draw have topped £100,000 already,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.
