Cricket Betting - England ODI Favourites After Collingwood Ton

Bookmakers currently consider England the more likely side to snatch victory in the side's ongoing one-day international series with South Africa.

Blue Square(Go to Blue Square ») has the recent Ashes winners at 11/8 to clinch a series win after England went 1-0 up through a dominant display by Paul Collingwood.

The all-rounder finished the day on 105 not out, putting on a 162-run partnership with Jonathan Trott to ease his team past the 250-9 target set by South Africa.

Given the man of the match award, Collingwood also celebrated becoming England's most-capped player in one-day cricket.

"It was a big day for me … but I thought the team put in a fantastic performance too," he said.

Calling the performance one of his best ever, the 33-year-old was also quick to commend Trott for his innings of 87.

Despite the emphatic win, many bookies still think a drawn series is the most likely outcome, with Betfred(Go to Betfred ») offering odds of 6/4.
