Cricket
For years, cricket was known for being a long time to watch a game. Even with the different matches providing some great rivalry, sitting for a long match seemed tedious.
Lately, shorter games have been introduced and in doing so, have brought new fans that wouldn’t necessarily have been interested, or had the patience.
Most popular though are the matches including:
Test Cricket:
Named as the most demanding version of Cricket, Test Cricket is played over 5 days by the national teams of the top cricket playing nations. Each match is structured to allow both teams to bat and bowl twice during the longevity of the game.
These matches are regarded as major sporting highlights and attendances have steadily increased as new fans take to this gruelling form of sport.
The Ashes;
Even if you live under a rock, no doubt you’ve heard of the ashes.
The oldest and most intriguing rivalry in test cricket, between Australia and England, is played every two years and venues alternate between the two teams home countries.
Much like test cricket, each side plays a maximum of two innings but over five days and this rival match boasts the best attendance and viewing figures in test cricket and is followed by fans around the world.
In the case of a draw, the holder of the Ashes retains the trophy.
One Day International Cricket:
This form is a cricket is a shortened version of Test Cricket, although unlike Test Cricket it can be played floodlights, giving a unique feel to the usual ordinary format.
ODIC allows a maxium of 100 overs, with each team given a maximum of 50 overs for batting. Each team has one opportunity to bat and one to bowl, and the team with the highest score wins the match.
Cricket offers a large selection of betting opportunities. While the extent of betting coverage will be dependent on the significance of a particular match, as well as the country’s involved, fans can look forward to benefiting from dozens of betting opportunities in high profile games.
Match Betting: Match betting is the easiest and most popular of cricket betting options. Punters select whichever team they think will win a match and are paid out according to the relevant odds if their selected team wins
Top Run-scorer: Punters can also place bets on which player will be the top run-scorer in his team. Odds available on these bets can be quite high, allowing punters to back several players and still earn a good payout.
Highest Opening Partnership: Betting on the highest opening partnership is a great cricket betting option that allows punters to back the opening partnership they think will reach the highest score, in either team.
1st Innings Lead: When betting on test matches, punters can place bets on which team will reach the highest score in the first innings, an attractive option in a game where the outcome is so often a draw.
