in association with bet365 - 28 January 2002

bet365


It's back to the MCG on Tuesday, when Australia will again try to put their Kiwi jinx behind them. Time is running out for the hosts – Waugh's men are still bottom of the VB Series table, and following South Africa's impressive victory against the Black Caps, desperately need a win. For the visitors, key all-rounder Chris Cairns is doubtful.

Australia are rated favourites at 2/7 for this match with New Zealand at 5/2. Match betting will be available throughout the game so why not have a punt while you're following CricInfo's coverage.

Top team batsman/bowler
You can bet on who will be the top batsman or bowler for either team. Ricky Ponting is again top man for the hosts (7/2) with Glenn McGrath (2/1) the top bowler. For the Kiwis, it is Stephen Fleming (7/2) who tops the batting list with Shane Bond (5/2) the leading bowler.

Super 7
Bet365 pick 7 players who will compete against each other for the "Super 7" title. Points are scored for runs, wickets, stumpings and catches, and will form a league table at the end of the game.

Player Match Bets
A selection of "head-to-head" bets are available based on Fantasy-style points for runs, wickets and catches. The scales are tipped in favour of Shane Warne (8/13) over Daniel Vettori (6/5). In the battle of the in-form quicks, Andy Bichel is favourite to perform (8/11) better than Shane Bond (evens).

Player Performances
Eight players, including Shane Warne, Adam Gilchrist, Chris Harris and Daniel Vettori, are under the spotlight in bet365's Player Performance bets. Points are earned in a similar way to fantasy cricket, and you can bet on their likely total points score.

Tom Mixes – Most Sixes
Have a bet on which team will score the most sixes in the game. The Australians are favourites (11/8) with New Zealand (7/4) and an equal number is at 2/1.
