BetVictor make England skipper Alastair Cook 3/1 to score a fourth successive century on England’s tour of India in either innings of the 4th Test Match which starts in Nagpur on Thursday morning.

Spokesperson and cricket betting expert Charlie McCann said: "Cook has been a revelation since taking over the helm as England captain but can he finish the job for his side in Nagpur?

"The hosts are sure to produce a turning pitch but with England having superior spinners I am surprised that our punters have nibbled at India who are now 29/20 from 6/4 with the Tourists 19/10 for a 3-1 Series success. It would be fitting if Captain Cook can score another ton and he is 3/1 to end the series in style."

England are on the drift in The Ashes cricket betting according to Ladbrokes. Following England's less than impressive start to the 1st Test against New Zealand, the firm are still favouring a home win this summer at 1/2 (from 4/9), with Australia's odds cut to 3/1 (from 7/2).
England will be very happy to hear that Graeme Swann & Tim Bresnan have been passed fit for the first test against New Zealand. As a result England are 1/2 red hot favourites to deliver victory in the first test, with New Zealand 8/1 outsiders. England can be backed at 5/4 to win the series 2-0.
Chris Gayle's 175 not out in the IPL is possibly the greatest ever T20 innings there is ever likely to be. 175 from 66 balls with 17 sixes and, had he not by his own admission "slowed down" in the middle of his innings, it could have been 200! The West Indies has given the cricket world batsmen like Gary Sobers, Brian Lara, Viv Richards and now Chris Gayle joins the greats of West Indian cricket.
Following his astonishing feat of scoring 100 in just 30 balls, William Hill are offering cricket odds of 25/1 that any professional cricketer manages a faster 100 this year. "Chris Gayle was simply stunning and it will be some feat if anyone manages to beat the 30 ball hundred this year,” said William Hill cricket betting spokesman Rupert Adams.
William Hill are looking forward to the return of the Indian Premier League, which is now the biggest cricket event of the year. Despite the absence of Kevin Pietersen and Shane Warne, the bookies are predicting a huge betting event. As it stands Chennai Super Kings are the 4/1 favourites, followed by Kolkata, Mumbai & Bangalore at 5/1.
New Zealand have been cut to win the third test according to Ladbrokes. Following the news that Kevin Pietersen is to miss the match the bookmakers report an upturn in stakes for the home side to defy the cricket betting odds, resulting in their price shortening to 11/2 from 6/1.
