ENGLAND VS WEST INDIES 3RD ODI AT EDGBASTON BETTING TIPS
England go into the 3rd ODI of the series against West Indies with considerable momentum. William Hill have them listed as 8/15 favourites with West Indies paying out around 11/8. After a very convincing performance on Sunday, buoyed by an excellent display from Paul Collingwood, many will be expecting England to deal with Windies relatively easily. Since there isn't much value on the outright result, you'll have to check out the Top Batsman and Top Bowler markets if you're looking to make some serious cash on this one. I think the Top Bowler market is slightly more predictable than the Top Batsman market, especially with England. Ravi Bopara and Andrew Strauss are the 3/1 co-favourites to be England's top scorer. Matty Prior is at 9/2 with Owais Shah (due for a good ODI performance) listed at 5/1. Ian Bell and Paul Collingwood both sit at 6/1 with Eoin Morgan ready to make a statement at 7/1. Chris Gayle and Shivnarine Chanderpaul are the West Indies favoured batsmen, but I'm leaning towards Ramnaresh Sarwan at 7/2 a bit more than them. Chris Gayle has been making too many mistakes and Chanderpaul seems to be in Graeme Swann's pocket. I actually fancy Dwayne Bravo at 5/1 as well. Lendl Simmons is listed at 11/2. Unsurprisingly, James Anderson is the favourite for top English bowler carrying a 11/4 price. Graeme Swann and Stuart Broad are both listed at 7/2 with Ryan Sidebottom at 4/1. Paul Collingwood went 3-16 last time out and is 10/1 to perform here. Fidel Edwards was rested in the last match and carries a 5/2 price ahead of 3/1 Jerome Taylor and 7/2 Dwayne Bravo.
