Well you've got one back.

5 minutes ago, Brian Marwood said Villa had defended badly and had paid the ultimate price. What an absurd use of hyperbole.

[Tal]

Odds of Villa scoring 3 at Villa Park?

[The Camel]

Bollocks done.

Super Bantams!

Apologies if bollocks have been done.

[Doobs]

Done my share, but what a great result, and a superb run.

villa 6-1 to win cup from here.  That as ridic as (insert any blackadder quote you wish)....

Even if they beat Bradford 2-0 3-1 (AET) or something  (we are assuming they get CFC in final, which would be the fav bookies opponents) in that game alone they'd be or ? No?

James Tredwell is 6/1 to be top England bowler for the upcoming series - http://www.oddschecker.com/cricket/india-v-england/odi-series/india-england-odis/top-england-bowler

Way over priced in my opinion given he will be England's main spinner.  Finn is favourite, as he should be, and Dernbach bowls at the death so is likely to pick up a few cheap wickets.   Aside from those 2, he is the next most likely to pick up wickets given Swann's absence.  He's not going to rip through India's batting lineup but is a steady bowler who builds pressure to get wickets and has looked pretty good in the warm up games.  He hasn't had many chances for England, with just 7 ODIs in the last 2 years but he always does a job when he comes in the team (11 wickets in those 7 games at an average of ~23 shows that).

Bell has cemented his place opening the innings and given his form in the 2 warm up matches, 7/2 is worth considering as top England batsman

Thank you Mr Gherkin, that all seems to make sense. You have not been seen here before, but hopefully you will hang around & help out with the cricket.

I have no idea if those suggestions are good value or not, as I don't know enough about cricket, but I hope that we get some warmth for them from the regulars, in which case we will definitely put one or both of your bets on. It's a bit awkward for me to back stuff from complete strangers until they have been around a while, but I'd quite like to get on these if they are deemed to be value.

Have you been involved in cricket yourself, or are you just an avid cricket fan?

Feel free to tell us something about yourself, they are a friendly bunch here.

As of this morning, Tredwell remains 6/1, thoiugh that is with Stan James, so if Fred got on, we'd have to take the BP elsewhere, which is 5/1.

Bell remains a top-rriced 7/2......
