Twenty20

Fletch was bang on with his preview below. Australia batted first and were magnificent, pummelling a shell-shocked England.

The stand out tip was buy Aussie runs above 150-160, as the home side racked up an international Twenty20 record 221 runs.

Tidy profit, thanks very much.

Anything can happen in a Twenty20 match but for this one I am pretty convinced that Australia will avenge their defeat at the Rose Bowl in 2005.

They just have better players, more depth and although one man can win a game like Pietersen, I think England are a bit shot from the Test series while Aussie are riding a patriotic wave and cannot even consider a loss.

In 2005 they found it all a bit of a joke. But with Adam Gilchrist, Ricky Ponting, Matthew Hayden if he plays and Cameron White who has been smashing them out of every ground in Aussie for Victoria this summer, Aussie have four big hitters.

Add in Michael Clarke and Mike Hussey to scamper and control and they could well exceed 200, a massive score.

At 1.4 on Betfair Aussie are short but I reckon anything you can get between there and 1.7 should be grabbed.

Use a separate budget though for this fast moving market and write the money off so you can use it without fear of loss.

The price swings can be dramatic in Twenty20 and very daunting. Look also to the spreads – if the pitch is good I would buy Aussie runs if they bat first above 150-160.
