ODI Match: India vs Sri Lanka

India has a much stronger batting lineup - especially top order and a more balanced bowling attack.  They should win the series, and I can't pass them at this price.  Sri Lanka bounced back well against Pakistan, but beating India is a different proposition.

 

Whilst it is not generally a betting strategy I adopt often, I am prepared to go a little larger in this first match of the 5 game series and double up next match if India lose as I do not expect Sri Lanka to win this series, and definitely not the first three matches in succession.

i watched s.africa destroy australia the other day.  So i cant understand why australia is a heavy favorite for the 5th odi match.

A Rog - imo the books have mispriced the South Africans for the whole series, much to my delight.  My book has the Aussies priced around the same as the previous 4 matches, but for this match there is valid reason.  It is a dead rubber, SA will rest their 2 best bowlers (Steyn and Ntini) and Australia have brought back 2 of its best players in Clarke and Bracken.  There are a number of players in the Australian team playing for their position.  I'd stay away from this match.

 

BTW A Rog, I follow cricket from time to time, but Rugby League is my sport.

No problem for India, who batted conservatively to make the total with 6 wickets in hand.

 

thanks gun
