yeah - or 2 catches and 10 runs.
Guess I'll just observe this one and see if it holds water for the next match.

I think we should oppose Angelo Mathews today and back him to score UNDER 34 player performance points at 5/6.
The factors in favour of this are:
A) His player performance points against Zimbabwe and SAF were precisely zero
B) The have shifted him right down the batting order. Against the Zimbabwe they lost 4 wickets and he didn't arrive at the crease. Against SAF they lost 5 wickets and he didn't arrive at the crease. Against a mediocre NZ attack I doubt he will bat.
C) His bowling has been as a containing option rather than a wicket taking one. Bowled one over against SAF in the shortened match for 8 runs. Bowled 2 overs against ZIM for 7 runs.
Assuming he doesn't bat, I wouldn't be surprised if he scores zero again, so plenty of room for a few catches and still coming under
Dung
Nothing against the bet per se but the NZ bowling attack is not medicore One of the canniest spinners in Vettori and a superb death bowler in Southee for starters Of course if Matthews is batting 7(?) then your reasoning could be very right anyway! oram was also one of the best bowlers in this years SL 20/20.SRI Lanka look a bit short here. |

New Zealand are the perennial semifinalists. They are the Tim Henman of cricket. They always do better than expected in World Cups. |

New Zealand win the toss and are batting. Guptill back for Milne whilst Sri Lanka include both Ajantha Mendis and mystery spinner Danajaya

Mathews line is 28. Sangakarra is 34 which is the one above Matthews. You can see from the 1st name in the list that the line and price is below the name.

Whoops! That changes everything, if correct. Thanks Sandy. Are we hole-in-one-ing for the Ryder Cup? I think 1/5 for no hole in one is quite generous. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Ryder_Cup#Course4 par 3's of 191,192,201 & 245 yards and a maximum attempts of 192. 4 shots per hole in 2 balls = 16 8 per hole in 4 balls = 32. 32+16 = 48. 2 days x 48 = 96. 24 singles x 4. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Ryder_Cup#CourseRyder cup since it became Europe in 1979 has taken place 16 times and only 4 courses have produced hole in ones. 2 of these were obviously more condusive to this as the produced 2 of them. However Medinah is long and hard so this decreases the chances massively. Sandy |
