Winter Tour Update

	It could be better, but overall we’re in pretty good shape so far

Our lay of Stephen Harmison as top series wicket taker at 6 is looking OK. He has 6 wickets with Freddie Flintoff ahead with 8 while Shabbir Ahmed and Danish Kaneria have five and Shoaib Akhtar 6 as well. I’d rather him have a couple fewer but he has plenty of competition and I expect Kaneria to bowl a lot in the next two matches.

Also I suggested laying him for 2pts in each match so that bet came in nicely for us.

Our sells of Ian Bell and Geraint Jones are mixed. Bell has 102 runs while Jones has 55 which has only slightly reduced his price. I am sticking with both.

As for the Pakistan middle order Inzi is making money, Younis around par and Yousuf poor with only 21 runs. If you spread across all three then I’d sit and watch, if you selected one alone then it is up to you how you deal with this.

We also had a 1pt win on both Pakistan and England to win the series 1-0. The England bet is now dead but at 8.00 Pakistan are looking good. With 50% of matches at Faisalabad being draws, another one now would push that down to just above evens offering a lovely trade if we fancied it.

It could be better, but overall we’re in pretty good shape so far.
