Ford Ranger Cup Odds Cricket Betting Odds

* Victoria +250
* NSW +300
* Tasmania +300
* WA +400
* Queensland +800
* South Australia +800


Tournament long shots Queensland remain leaders of the Ford Ranger Cup, Australia’s one-day domestic competition, and is desperate to put some room between them and the rest of the pack when they clash with Tasmania on Friday.

The futures odds show Queensland and South Australia (+800) as long shots to win this year’s tournament despite the fact that the former currently holds the trophy after they defeated Victoria in the final last season.

Australia’s depth in talent can usually be judged through the success of Queensland and NSW and considering the latter was only two weeks ago crowned the world’s best Twenty20 team, things are looking good in the Antipodes.

The clash between Tasmania and Queensland is important for several reasons, the most crucial is the fact that neither NSW or Victoria have played a game yet because of their commitment to the recently completed Champions League Twenty20 tournament on the sub-continent.

This means that the remaining teams of the competition have all played at least two games, in Queensland’s instance this match will be their fourth meaning they won’t play another game until November 14.

A win here will give them a psychological advantage over the rest of the State teams who will be forced to chase their tail.

Tasmania has won the only match they have played this year, a resounding seven wicket win over South Australia, who are this year’s underdogs.

South Australia, commonly referred to as Crow Eaters, shouldn’t be considered in such a way with a team brimming with potential and former internationals including pace spearhead Shaun Tait.

Tasmania on the other hand have one of the most deadliest all round attacks however national selection has knocked them around hard.

With NSW and Victoria overflowing with confidence following their successful Champions League sojourn, every win early in this tournament counts.

An Aussie four-run victory in the first match at Vadodara got the jam-packed seven match tour off to a positive start for the visitors however the narrow margin suggests that this series will be fitting for the number one and two ODI teams in the world.

Of course the closeness of the series will depend on the number of injuries are sustained and the injuries list for the visitors is starting to resemble a Barcelonan Emergency Department following Running of The Bulls.

Brett Lee bowled just a handful of overs before an elbow injury resulted in his substitution, James Hopes let fly 12 injuries before succumbing to a hamstring injury while Mitchell Johnson complained of a left ankle problem and left the field briefly.

These are all on top of pre-tournament injuries which meant Nathan Bracken, Michael Clarke and Brad Haddin didn’t even make the journey.

It’s no wonder then that Australian captain Ricky Ponting is upset by the seven-match schedule calling it too long following what has been a lengthy and hectic season. Australia’s thinned bowling ranks was forced to work hard to protect their 292 on a belter of a pitch.

Earlier Ricky Ponting (74) and Mike Hussey (73) proved to be the mainstay of the Australian innings while opener Tim Paine (50) and Cameron White (51) got their tours off to a positive start.

While Ishant Sharma picked up 3/50 the rest of the Indian attack was too expensive and loose, Praveen Kumar was carted for 0/77 off 10 overs, while Harbhajan Singh (1/57), Ashish Nera (2/58) all went for close to six an over.

Australia’s bowlers were equally hammered, firstly at the top of the order by Gautam Gambhir (68) then again by Singh (49) and Kumar (40no) at the tail end.

India failed to combat early aggressiveness of Australia’s quicks losing Virender Sehwag (13) and Sachin Tendulkar (14) cheaply while Virat Kohli (30) and MS Dhoni (34) chipped in.

Australia were on their way out of the 1999 World Cup. Captain Steve Waugh was in the middle of one of the all-time great ODI innings. Herschelle Gibbs dropped his catch, a simple one. To rub the salt further on Gibbs’ woes, Waugh immediately told him, ‘You just dropped the World Cup mate’. And it turned out to be true.

Ten years later it came to haunt Gibbs again. Though this time he was not the culprit, but some of his Cape Cobras team-mates dropped the Champions League T20 as they grassed at least five simple catches to allow Trinidad and Tobago to enter the finals of the inaugural Champions League T20 here on Thursday.

Riding on high luck, Trinidad and Tobago clinched the match by 7 wickets as the South African teams continued to prove themselves to be ultimate chockers in cricket when it comes to handling the pressure at crucial junctures.

Despite posting a big total of 175, Cobras could not win the match as the team from West Indies held their nerves all through the match. Be it Ravi Rampal, who bowled an economical last over, or Dwayne Bravo and Daren Ganga, who played important innings to guide their team to the final when Cobras were looking to peg things back.

Bravo played a match-winning knock of unbeaten 58 at a time when they needed more than 10 runs per over. His 34-ball 58 consisted of four fours and three sixes. It was he who made a stiff target look easy in the end with his powerful hitting and sealed the match in their favour with four balls to spare.

Skipper Daren Ganga, too, kept his cool and helped his illustrious partner send the South Africans on a leather hunt all over the park. Ganga played a crucial knock of 31-ball 44 and remained unbeaten in the end.

Chasing a stiff total of 176 for victory, Trinidad and Tobago openers- William Perkins and Adrian Barath- gave them a tremendous start as they whizzed past fifty in just the 5th over. But immediately after that they lost William Perkins through a brilliant run out. Perkins made 20 off 16 balls with the help of four fours.

Duminy then removed the other opener Adrian Barath for 29 to restore some sanity as the batsman was going hammer and tonk in the middle. Barath’s 16-ball cameo contained four hits to the fence and two over it.

Champions League Twenty20 Betting Odds

NSW Blues vs. Victoria Bushrangers

Wednesday, October 21, 10am

Cricket Betting Odds & Picks  for NSW Blues –135

Cricket Betting Odds & Picks  for Victoria Bushrangers +105

Australia’s best exponents of the short form of cricket will battle out the first semi final of the inaugural Champions League Twenty20 tournament in Delhi today with a win securing the team a chance at the US$2.5 million first prize.

The biggest individual prize offered in international cricket is a tempting lure for the NSW Blues and Victoria Bushrangers whose players will all face a financial windfall beyond their own comprehension if they can just make it into the final on Friday.

NSW were clear favourites of their group at the start of the tournament and were equal favourites to win the competition alongside IPL franchises Deccan Chargers and the Delhi Daredevils.

With both of those teams gone from the competition NSW are now clear favourites to win and despite a shock loss to fellow semi-finalists Trinidad and Tobago in the second leg of the tournament, the state team has never really looked in danger.

Not only do they sport some of the classiest and brutally aggressive batsmen in the tournament, they also have the bowling ability to back it up.

Phillip Hughes is the tournament’s highest run scorer with 164, averaging 55 at a strike rate of 106.49 and fellow opener is not far behind with 140 runs at 132. Captain Simon Katich is hitting the ball cleanly, and the rest of the batsmen have al contributed.

To many the inaugural Champions League Twenty20 was a chance for the Indian Premier League franchises to flex their muscle in preparation for the third instalment of their multi-million tournament early next year.

What happened was nothing short of embarrassing.

The three teams, so enamoured with their own image that it would put Narcissist himself to shame, have been jettisoned from the Champions League Twenty20.

The first round of the tournament cut free the dead weight – New Zealand’s only team, the Otago Volts, were summarily disgraced, England’s band of merry men from Sussex felt the same humiliating feeling that befalls a team that fails to win a match at a tournament such as this.

Sri Lanka’s only team, Wayamba Elevens could feel hard done by, their pool was the toughest of the four with each team winning and losing a match, the result based purely on run rates, something to which is almost out of a team’s hands.

The other exiting team was the Adam Gilchrist-led Deccan Chargers, the first of the IPL teams to go by the way side.

Gilchrist’s team of multi-million stars failed to win a match in their pool, their fate sealed with a loss to Trinidad and Tobago in the final round which allowed Somerset, the English country team led by Justin Langer, to leap frog them into the second round.

Following the conclusion of the second “league” stage, in which the eight remaining teams played three matches apiece and resulted in the dumping of a further four teams to leave just the semi-finalists, the last two IPL teams were issued their plane tickets home.

Even if the Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Delhi Daredevils hadn’t been in the same pool, their fate would have been the same with each team winning just one match each, the other pool’s loser; Diamond Eagles would have dumped them both from the tournament courtesy of a superior run rate.

The result calls into question just how good these IPL T20 teams really are.

One could argue these teams ought to win a tournament which features domestic teams however let’s not forget that these so called domestic teams feature a host of international players.

Deccan Chargers will need Adam Gilchrist to fire at the top. With VVS Laxman displaying a smashing new side to his batting the previous game, the task will be simpler for the skipper. The bowling trinity of RP Singh, Pragyan Ojha and Harmeet Singh has a task on their hands.

Dwayne Bravo bowled exceedingly well against Somerset, but a middle-order collapse in the T&T innings had left his side struggling. The Bravo brothers will need to bat well to guide their team, especially if they need to chase a big target.

Deccan Chargers vs Trinidad & Tobago - Cricket Betting Tips

If Trinidad and Tobago win, they will be through to the next round along with Somerset County Cricket Club and will take forward their two points as well. If Deccan Chargers beat T&T, then there will be a three-way tie between the sides. In that case, the net run rate will come into the picture. Somerset had won their first game against Deccan Chargers but because it was a last-ball win, as compared to T&T's massive win, their net run rate has suffered a lot. A Chargers win could knock Somerset out of the tournament.
