    Picks

    Tonight: PAKISTAN ($2.24) v SOUTH AFRICA ($1.81)

    Not often you see a team in a head-to-head contest shorter on Betfair than at the bookies (most have this as $1.85 v $1.85); makes you start to wonder why. I lean towards the Saffers as well, but at the price it's almost a no-bet. Should be a reasonable game for the traders, but I'll be wary as I expect the bowlers early on of both innings to have the upper hand.

    Tomorrow: ENGLAND ($2.04) v WEST INDIES ($1.94)

    Fully expect WI to be Lara-less with his bad back; tough game to call as much will depend on the motivations of both sides in a meaningless game. One to leave alone antepost, but in-play trading should provide some twists and turns with these teams.

    Sunday: AUSTRALIA ($1.60) v INDIA ($2.64)

    A team who knows how to perform in pressure games against a team who knows how to lose their bottle in pressure games. Oz in a cakewalk. Fill yer boots and lay off at 1.3 after Gilchirst canes Pathan in the first few overs.

    And if anybody is interested, NZ will thrash GB in the league but at $1.37 they're not bettable. NZ -10.5 points @ 2.10 is tempting.

    Oz in a cakewalk? Even with 100k local fans around?

    I hear where you're coming from but India will raise their game for this one (and Australia are not what they were)

    Can't wait. For me, the most anticipated international sporting contest since France v Brazil in the World Cup.
