Just to give you an idea on how much money is bet on these cricket matches. On Betfair alone with only a quarter of the match completed there has been about US$19 million bet on this match. And that $19 million is just on the head to head market on who is going to win the game. This doesn't include the other 25 markets they were offering.
There could be close to $70 million bet on who will win this match by the time it is finished. And that is ONLY on Betfair. God knows how much is bet with the illegal bookies in India and other legal sports books on the planet.

Great fight shown by your boys last night Sid, New Zealand's batting will be their downfall, Great bowling, Great captaincy but besides Mccullum and Williamson batting wise they are still the same flakey Kiwis in my opinion, It pains me to say it but I think the trophy is yours, South Africa could ruin the party if AB keeps playing like he has.

If America had a cricket team, Giancarlo Stanton and Mike Trout open the batting.
God only knows how far the ball would travel if they middled it with these new ridiculously thick bats.
Miggy Cabrera woyld go alright to but he would need a runner like fat old Duleep Mendis in the day.
I think the Aussies are best equipped to win it also. They have too much depth and too many all rounders. The South Africans have the talent but they get stage fright on the big stage. The Kiwis are gutsy but they don't have enough class outside of their top 3 or 4 players.
Best of luck.

A little over $70 million was bet on this game on Betfair today. That is insane. There would have been more money bet if it was a close game but Sri Lanka got off to a hot start and kept on going and made a relatively tough run chase look easy. If the game was more competitive another $20-30 million could have easily been wagered. Scary stuff.

i see a lot of ex pat (east)indians playing cricket on sundays here but it'll never catch on, americans like their own sports too much, its almost impossible to break the holy trinity of MLB, NFL and NBA

Woke up to the news of England getting thrashed, How on earth did Sri Lanka win so easily? F-ck me, Pakistan also making a meal of their match, Getting over the line however.

South Africa v Ireland tonight fellas, South Africa are -2000 to win the match, Ireland are +1000.
Now let me give you the basic info regarding both sides, South Africa arguably have the Lebron James of Cricket in their side in AB De Villiers, The guy is an absolute machine, However due to his last performance where he broke all sorts of records, South Africa's team total runs will be heavily inflated if they win the toss and bat first and Ireland are no mugs who present value in taking the under.
On the other hand, Ireland are also no mugs with the bat but they aren't as good as they are being given credit for either therefore their team total could be inflated and South Africa could easily cash the under on them if they bat first.
If the conditions are hot (current ground temperature is 27 degrees but partly cloudy) and either team wins the coin toss and decides to bat first I think a bet on the under is a must tonight.
I'm predicting South Africa's total runs over/under to be 327.5 if they win the toss and bat first, If they lose the toss and get put in then around 312.5
If Ireland win the coin toss and bat first I'd predict their over/under to be around 257.5, If they get put in then around 237.5
I'll post around 15 minutes before the game starts on what I do
