From memory team news was all a bit late in recent seasons, especially with overseas players availability so early matches could be tough going but let's see what we can do. 

Boxing Day start for the 4th Ashes test at the MCG, series already over, England been very disappointing imo, really thought they had a shout.

4th Test Preview Here  

Top Australia 1st Innings Bat, Khawaja at 5.25/1 with Sportingbet 
Top England 1st Innings Bat, Crawley at 5.25/1 with Sportingbet 

Hitting the large family Christmas over the next few days so minimal punting.

OUTRIGHTS BETWAY T20

Very few markets up at the moment - No batting, bowling or team markets. The two squads which look the best are

To Win
Sunrisers Eastern Cape  @  9/2
Durban Super Giants  @  56/10

BETWAY SA 20

Have only seen Sportingbet coming out with player markets so will look to get stuck in as soon as more are available. I love my outright tournament plays so will certainly add some.

I also like the Durban lads this season Vann. Solid batting options with Conway, Buttler, Markram, De Zorzi and Klaasen. If fitness is good then they will have serious wheels in the form of Gerald Coetzee and Maphaka with the ball. Of course the key at Kingsmead is a good spinner and then have that in Noor Ahmed.

ASHES - 4th Test

Call me crazy but the Poms will be stinging after all the drama around them so having a go at 2/1 for the win. Yes Archer is also out for England but the loss of Cummins and Lyon is huge for the hosts. I also think Starc is starting to feel the effects of leading the attack in the first two matches. 

Player to score most fours (in the match) - Brook at 11/1 (Pokerbet)
Harry was steadily moving into the position as No1 test bat in the world six odd months ago and all of a sudden he's hit a brick wall, painted Aussie-Green. Aftter swinging like a flower child in the first two tests he looked to try an alternative approach (for the most part) in the 3rd test. I'm hoping he finds the exact right balance for this match. Batting at 5 I'm pretty confident he gets to the wicket twice in this test and will have plenty of opportunity to find the fence. I don't want anyone in the top order for this test since I expect the new ball to do a bit.

Top Aus Bat (1st Inns) - A Carey at 8/1 (Pokerbet)
Honestly he is currently the best batsman in this Aus line-up on form so I can't look past another good knock from the lefty and I expect to get a good run for my money at a decent price.

Ben Duckett over 2.5 fours (1st Inns) at 8/10 (WSB)
I'm place an "Ah f%ck it bet" in the bucket on Ben Duckett to come out smashing after being caught smashed on socials this week.

Also:
Scott Boland over 2.5 1st Inns wickets at evens with Sunbet (he loves bowling here and without Cummins has a stronger shout).
Josh Tongue over 2.5 1st inns wickets at 11/10 with Sunbet (no Archer means wickets are there for the taking)

I think Conway has decided to take the India tour with NZ so either no matches or very limited. Massive plus for me is Narine.

Thanks for the headsup Vann. At least Kane is still there so not too worried.

I see Narine will also only arrive later but Harmer a good sub as well.

Aus under 351.5 1st innings runs @ 5/6

Had a look at the SA 20 and I am leaning Capitals at 6/1 

A few excellent acquisitions in Brevis, Maharaj and Nigidi 

I also think DSG will be a lot better this season and no value in MICT at current prices 

MI v DSG, Newlands Boxing Day.

If the weather forecast is accurate then fine and dry but plenty of cloud cover. Thinking overs on sixes line which is 14.5 with some big guns in both batting line ups. Then Trent Boult as top  MI bowler at 36/10.

Lovely to wake up to a batting disasterclass from aus and England. It’s hindsight but how was the runs line so high when an hour before all the commentators were talking about the greenness of wicket??

going to reinvest some winnings onto that best sixes overs lines in Cape Town that Chris has highlighted. 

Poms a disaster with the bat but Tongue and Boland gave me a decent return. Carey was primed to make it a great one but fluffed the opportunity. Let's not even mention the nibble on Duckett ...

Betway Outrights (have only seen Sportingbet offering):
 Noor Ahmad top Tournament bowler at 16/1
Top Bat - Mat Breetzke at 14/1

Another 2 day Ashes test match, can you believe it, well played with the Poms Couch 

SA20 Saturday, swerving the first game, going with over10.5 sixes in total in the second match at Paarl, QdK was firing in India and a few other likely lads on show. Line might be a touch low hopefully
