A mouth-watering warm-up for the long weekend today. Next week I am away on business to there will be no updates until 1st June. However, make sure you have a flutter on Greece for the Eurovision Song Contest tomorrow night!
11.00 England 10/11 (WON +1.91 - What can I say that hasn't been said!?!?)
England are still the better side, despite Oram's heroics. In both innings, England were a dropped catch away from running through the Kiwis and with less rain in Manchester they should have the time to finish the job off this time. I considered tipping England to win the series 2-0 at 7/4 but I'll take Totesport's 10/11 for now and maybe double up on the 3rd test.
12.25 McGinley to win 3-ball 11/8 (WON +3.29 - A blistering 66 saw our man win this 3-ball by 5 shots. Then blew up on Saturday!)
Graham McDowell and David Howell both shot respectable -2 scores yesterday all be it in very different ways (Howell parred 14 holes, McDowell just 9), but neither could live with red hot McGinley. 7 birdies and no bogeys sent him to the top of the leaderboard. The Irishman is on a decent run of form with 3 top 20 finishes in his last three tournaments, and a good round again today could put him well placed to shoot up the Ryder Cup rankings.
2.30 Punjab to beat Deccan 3/5 (WON +3.89 - a cracking game with Deccan setting a good target of 176, but Sangakarra set Punjab up nicely to win with 3 balls to spare)
A win today will see Punjab become the second team to confirm a semi-final place after our favourites Rajasthan. And they couldn't hope for a better team to play than bottom of the table Deccan with only two wins in their campaign. Punjab showed they had the kahunas for a tight game winning by one run last time out, and while it shouldn't be as close this time, they will see it through.
7.3o Leeds bt Bradford 7/12 (WON 30-14 +4.47 - As expected Bradford really came at Leeds but the class told in the final quarter)
Its a West Yorkshire derby tonight in the Super League and while the Bulls and their fans will be right up for denting Leeds run, Leeds just have too much quality all over the park. It could be close, and Leeds do have a very sound defensive platform, so I'm not confident to pick the handicap or winning margin. So we'll just go for a safe winning bet.
