Calling all Cricket shrewdies

[millidonk]

Got a free £10 on WillHill as i've not used em in a while but only for India v England, obv don't get stake back. Anyone know of any shrewd bets or possible value?

Can it only be used on a game or are series bets possible too?  I am intending on pricing this today although the few things i thought might have been value don't seem to be tbh.

On the one game - singles only.

I was gonna go top batter or most wickets as thats the only thing i could see where i might get a decent-ish return.

I wouldn't back any of those markets voluntarily but with a free bet i could be tempted by Trott @ 3/1.  It is tough to get too much info out of these warmup games but they are all we have too go on because there have only ever been 3 ODI's on this pitch and England have only played the warmups there.  Trott doesn't hit a lot of boundaries which can catch a lot of players out in the sub continent and in ODI's his rate of scoring tends to put a bit of pressure on other batsmen to score quicker which may catch them out here.  I would say something like 7/2 is the real price though so not value as such.  FWIW i do think the 6/5 England represents value but obviously it isn't a big return bet.  I priced the game 10/11 India and 11/10 England.
