Brave Hills price England at 8/1 for the Cricket World Cup

Following the announcement of the England squad for the cricket World Cup, bookmakers William Hill rate England as their 8/1 fifth favourites with Australia the 6/4 favourites. Freddie Flintoff is the 5/2 favourite to be England’s top wicket taker and 10/1 to be England’s top runscorer for which Kevin Pietersen is the 11/4 favourite and CBI hero Collingwood is offered at 9/2.

“Our customers are very patriotic and with a fair amount of optimism following the CBI victory we would expect England to shorten steadily in the run up to England’s first match,” said Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams.
