Will we see something dramatic in the upcoming Ashes series?
As we’ll see throughout this article, The Ashes series has provided many iconic moments during its long and varied history. From an English perspective, many fans are dreaming of a successful winter down under even if they all believe it’s a tall order. One particular cricket betting website seems to suggest that Australia are strong 3/10 favourites to keep the Urn at home.
However, following his exploits at the previous series, some of the latest cricket tips indicate that the inclusion of Ben Stokes in the squad could have a positive impact on England’s chances. Who will ever forget his contribution in one famous match from the last series?
A memorable Sunday afternoon at Headingley
Whilst England didn’t manage to regain the Ashes in 2019, one of the highlights from the series came on day four of the third test.
After some awful batting throughout the second innings, England collapsed to 286/9 and still needed 362 to win. Stokes then took it upon himself to drag his side back to the series. He ultimately won the match with a boundary, sending the fans in Leeds crazy and giving England some hope of retaining The Ashes.
Botham’s Ashes
The above wasn’t the first ‘miracle of Headingley’. This moment and match are still spoken about by fans of the sport.
By the time the third test of the 1981 Ashes came along, England were trailing and struggling to get a foothold in the series. Step forward all-rounder Ian Botham. His remarkable batting and bowling figures brought his side back into the series This inspired everyone within the team and unlike in 2019, England would go on to win the Ashes.
The best test in Ashes history?
We have already mentioned the memorable 2005 series once. The summer of cricket was encapsulated by the sheer drama and tension on display in the second test.
England had lost the first match of the series and went into this knowing they needed to win. Australia had to chase a big total and early dismissal of their stars meant many thought England would see it through comfortably. They needed a fairly substantial 107 runs with only two wickets in hand. However, these Australian tailenders stood firm for a period. After a nervy period for the home side, they just edged it. The celebrations in the crowd summed up the feeling of an entire nation.
The pinnacle of the sport
Test matches between England and Australia are seen as the pinnacle of the sport. This ultimately means that moments from the series can extra weight amongst fans of the sport and the general public. A player like Ben Stokes can once again become a hero for the general population if he replicates his performances from 2019.
I’ve got a notebook full of questions here. The first is about Southerton the man—his personality, his character. He seems, from his writings and from the public record, to have been a pretty sober fellow—certainly by comparison with a few of his professional contemporaries, who led rather wild lives. In fact I recently came across the manifest for the Alhambra, the ship that conveyed Lillywhite’s 1876-77 team from Bluff to Melbourne for the inaugural Test Match, and it made for pretty fascinating reading (more fascinating than ship manifests tend to be). My favourite detail that is every member of this all-professional side lists his occupation as “gentleman.” That’s a sweet touch. But then there’s the fact that they all lie about their marital status: All of them are hitched, but all claim, with exception of Southerton, to be single gentlemen. On top of that, all lie about their ages as well! So Southerton really stands out—knowing what we do, even aside from the above, about their complicated domestic arrangements and some of their on-tour antics.
Yeah, he does seem to have been a pretty well-balanced and sober bloke. By all accounts he had a very happy marriage, and he would have been quite a long time married at the point of that tour. There are stories that he would race home after cricket games. Although he spent an awful lot of time travelling around the country in different places, he was always quite keen to get home.
If he had to put an occupation down, then certainly in the censuses he’s recorded generally as a hairdresser. That was the other way he made most of his money.
In terms of his character, I would say he got on with people very well, so he was very well liked. Despite falling out with some people at certain times, they still remained friends in the longer run.
And I reckon he comes over as pretty stubborn. If he thought he was right on something, he wouldn’t give in. It would be very hard to change his mind. Even on some things where he was probably in the wrong, if he believed he was right he would just maintain that position, whatever the facts.
Perhaps you’d like to elaborate a bit on that point. He had a few clashes with authority.
He did. He had some time with Sussex early in his career that ended in a bad way, but it’s not quite clear why. Subsequently he fell out with the South Hants Club in Southampton, where he had a contract, and left them—broke his contract—to go to play for Surrey, where he could earn more. But he was the one who took South Hants to court, saying that they owed him money, despite the fact that he’d broken the contract. It’s pretty clear that he was in the wrong, and the case was found against him, and he was ordered to pay costs, but the South Hants club didn’t pursue it. They footed the bill and remained on friendly terms with him. So there’s something there: If he thought he was owed money—and he was a professional—he would pursue that. But he seemed to do it in a way that did not cause personal problems for him. He remained friends with the people at South Hants.
Reading about that episode in your book, I was put in mind of Sydney Barnes and his independence of spirit. There are a few commonalities there—but without the same surliness of character. For Southerton seems to have been universally loved. You tell a great anecdote, via Charles Alcock, about what a warm and kindly figure he could be.
Yes, he brought back from one of his trips to Australia a pill box and gave it to Alcock as a present. It had been inscribed for him. Alcock didn’t want to take it, but Southerton insisted. He wasn’t a rich man, but he did give these gifts away. Alcock treasured it, and it seems that many years later he still carried it on his body. They liked and respected each other, and that seems to be a general position: Southerton was respected for his cricket, but also for his manner.
Another clue as to his independence of spirit we get in the subtitle of your book: “The Man of Three Counties.” Pretty self-explanatory, but give us a précis of his various engagements.
Basically Southerton would play cricket for whoever would employ him. He played lots of games for many, many different clubs. He was born in Petworth, so he was eligible to play for Sussex, and they could claim him as the home county; he played for Surrey on the basis that he lived most of his life in Mitcham; and he played for Hampshire, because he had that contract which took him to South Hants, and Hampshire were on the brink of resuming a first-class county career. He started his first games with Sussex, then played for Surrey and then South Hants, and then went back to Sussex and Surrey. He ended up in one season playing for all three counties in the same season: for Sussex, firstly, because they had first call on him, but also for the others. In that season he was playing against teams that a couple of weeks earlier he had played for. So it was quite a remarkable career.
Do you not say at one point that he was partially responsible—that his example, at least, was partially responsible—for the tightening up of qualification rules? The sort of thing that made Lords Harris and Hawke infamous in later years.
Yeah, I think he was one of the players who was responsible for the changes. He was in a position that one week he’d be playing for one team, and then a couple of weeks later he’d be playing for the opposition. He played against teams like Kent, for example, week after week, first in Sussex’s ranks and then in Surrey’s, and it caused a bit of bad feeling. It was one of the things that contributed to the fact that the regulations were changed. Eventually he had to choose his county. At that point he chose Surrey.
There’s another side to his life, of course (less appreciated than it should be, I think): his journalism. Would you tell us about your forthcoming project, which ought to do a bit to resuscitate his reputation in that area?
He wasn’t a particularly highly educated man, but he was, I think, reliable. He was employed firstly by The Sporting Life to write back to England on WG Grace’s tour of Australia in 1873/74, and then in 1876/77, on Lillywhite’s tour, he sent reports back to The Sportsman. Every couple of weeks these letters, these long screeds about the tour and about the matches, would appear in those newspapers. Personally I think they are better written than you might have expected from someone of his background.
They’re certainly more interesting and more entertaining than James Lillywhite’s (submitted to one of the rival papers, and slightly expanded for publication in his annual).
Yeah, I think so. I mean, they give you some details of the games, but they also tell you a bit about what they were doing and the places they went to and their sometimes horrendous travel experiences, so I definitely think they’re worth a read, and relatively well written. He seems to have gotten a reputation in some quarters for <i>not</i> being very interesting. I’m not quite sure where that comes from, because there’s a lot there—a lot about social history as well as the cricket—and I find that fascinating.
Of course he passed on that writerly competence to his son, didn’t he?
He did. Sydney Southerton became an editor of Wisden.
Now, it’s often claimed that Test cricket’s oldest record—its most enduring one, at any rate—belongs to Charles Bannerman, famous for his 165 retired hurt in the inaugural Test, which comprises more than 67 per cent of the very first Test innings. But in fact that’s not the case, is it? James Southerton, when he stepped out onto the pitch the day before the conclusion of Bannerman’s innings, established a record which stands to this day: At forty-nine years and 119 days, he remains Test cricket’s oldest debutant (although I should say that he, too, lied about his age on the Alhambra manifest, claiming to be forty-six). And it’s appropriate that he should hold this record, because as your book shows, he was a very late bloomer.
Yeah, I think he does remain the oldest male debutant. (I think the record may have been broken in the ladies’ game in recent years.) He holds the record of the first Test cricketer to die as well.
In terms of the development of his bowling ability, it did come very, very late. He started out as a batsman, and had a reasonable reputation—that’s how he was first chosen in county cricket—and when he bowled in his early years, he was a medium-fast bowler. He developed his slow bowling after the regulations were changed in the early 1860s to allow bowling from a greater height. And he developed a new style of right hand off-spin, which previously wouldn’t have been allowed. He was he was very old when he came back and started with that new bowling, and he had great success.
It kind of stands to reason, doesn’t it? Anyone who tries to bowl off-spin will find that a high action is a pretty much requisite. You simply cannot bowl it round-arm.
Yeah, absolutely. Spin bowling, in effect, was something that was new. He had a number of hugely successful seasons, as players were trying to get used to this new style of bowling and the spin that he put on the ball. By reputation he wasn’t quite as accurate as Alf Shaw, but he put a lot of spin on the ball, and he changed his style and his speed an awful lot. It seems he was a thinking bowler. He was always thinking about how to get someone out.
“Bowled with his head,” as the Victorians liked to say.
Yeah, absolutely. He had huge success for a number of years through the 1860s, taking more than 100 wickets every season. I think he was the first bowler to take 200 in a season. And he was in his forties at the time.
One by-product, of course, of his late blooming as a bowler is that his reputation as a batsman has suffered. In his youth he was fairly handy, but now he’s judged on what he was doing in his mid-to-late forties. And he really quite fancied himself with the willow…
He did. There are quotes from him where he was really quite disappointed about the fact that his batting wasn’t rated, and he obviously thought he was better than that. I think even Charles Alcock acknowledged at one point—Southerton was complaining to him—that, yes, he did rate him as a batsman. And Southerton did have times, even late in life, when he would go in and score some useful runs. I think he also managed to hit the ball out of the Oval at one point, so obviously he could bat. But increasingly he was regarded as just a bowler.
A mighty smite, to hit it out of the Oval in those days. George Bonnor famously lifted one into the deep, 120 meters, only to get caught on the fence. So you had to give it a fair tap.
One of the most famous stories about Southerton actually involves his batting. He was once retired in rather interesting circumstances…
In fact, something similar happened last summer. I don’t know if you saw Temba Bavuma’s dismissal during the Sri Lanka series in South Africa: He missed the ball by a margin of inches, and was the only man on the field who thought he’d hit it. I remember thinking to myself, as he tucked his bat under his armpit, Surely that should be “retired,” too? If the umpire doesn’t think you’re out, and the fielding side doesn’t think you’re out, and you’re the only one who does, you’re “retired,” aren’t you?
Well, in Southerton’s case, it went down in the scorebook as “retired, thinking he was caught.” This was around 1870. He was playing for Surrey against the MCC, and it seems that he hit a ball pretty much into the ground in front of WG Grace, who claimed the catch. Grace always said this was just a joke; he was having Southerton on, because he thought that Southerton often batted with his eyes closed. But Southerton walked off, and although Grace and the other players and the umpires tried to call him back, he kept on walking, and wouldn’t come back.
This is another instance of his stubbornness, I think. If he thought that something had happened and he’d made his decision, he stuck with it. But yeah, it’s an unusual occurrence.
Just as he was the oldest Test debutant, he was ironically also the first test cricketer to die. There’s a morbid appropriateness about that. He was only fifty-two when he passed. Perhaps you’d like to say a bit about his final years?
Yes, after that tour with Lillywhite to Australia and New Zealand in 1876/77, he came back to England and resumed playing for Surrey for another couple of seasons, and then he had he had a benefit, after which he finally retired. But that retirement lasted less than a year. He was engaged at Surrey as a net bowler, and it seems that he caught a chill. He died quite quickly, in 1880, of pleurisy, and was greatly mourned, by Mitcham people in particular. There was a long trail, a procession, of Mitcham locals, who followed the coffin to the parish church. A great many cricketers from Surrey and elsewhere attended. It seemed to have happened pretty quick, but things like that did in those days.
Maybe you’d like to say a bit about the origins of your own interest in Southerton. I know you have a connection to the Mitcham club.
Yes, I’m currently treasurer at Mitcham Cricket Club, and also one of the coaches for the junior sections. On Mitcham Cricket Green there is a memorial to famous Mitcham cricketers of the past, and it includes James Southerton. That sparked my interest a number of years back, when I was trying to write up some brief lives of the cricketers recorded on that stone. And seeing that Southerton had played in that first ever Test Match, and also that he had owned The Cricketers pub just across the way from the Cricket Green, I delved into it and found out that he’d written these various articles for the newspapers. That just kind of developed into writing up more about his life. I was surprised that there wasn’t a biography of him to be honest, and I thought he deserved one, so that’s what I proceeded to produce.
Talk about your writing process and research, and the challenges you encountered in their course
There are elements of his life which are a bit difficult to get into—I couldn’t find anything in terms of living descendants and personal writing—but there is a lot in his articles back to the newspapers. He was well liked by contemporaries, so you have writing from WG Grace and others. And obviously there’s a huge amount of material in terms of the matches he played, but the scorecards are very dry, so I’ve tried to supplement that kind of material with what you can get from his writings and other sources. So it still means there are parts of this that are a bit of a gap. It’d be nice to have more about his personal life, but I think you can get enough to see something of the man he was and why he was so well respected and liked.
Is there anything else you you’d like to bring to our attention?
[Adrian:] I think we’ve covered the key stories about him. I think that the really interesting thing for us is his position as a Mitcham cricketer. He played frequently on Mitcham Cricket Green. Even at the end of the season, he’d come back and play in games like “Fathers against Sons.” As you said, one of his own sons, Sydney, went on to become an editor of Wisden, but he also had others, who continued to play for Mitcham for many years.
Through Mitcham, of course, he retained a pretty close connection with his Australian opponents. They were apt to begin every tour there.
Yeah, you’re right. I think the first Australian tour (other than the Aboriginal one) was in 1878. After beating Surrey in two days, they were driving on the third to Epsom for the Derby, and stopped en route at Southerton’s pub in Mitcham for a few drinks with the proprietor, who had written very favourably about the standard of cricket in Australia. I think they were quite well disposed to him. Thus began the tradition of the Australians, whenever they came to England on tour, going to Mitcham Cricket Green for their practice. That went on into the 1890s. It’s unlikely to resume, but it was there for quite a while, and they clearly liked and respected Southerton as a cricketer and as a man.
Where can readers get your biography of Southerton, and when will your anthology of his writings be available?
The book about Southerton, James Southerton: The Man of Three Counties, is available through Amazon. You can buy it online through that source. The next book is his writings about the 1876/77 tour: the letters that he sent back to The Sportsman, with some notes that I’ve added. That is very near completion. As you know, it often takes a while to get these things finalised, but I hope it will be available towards the end of this year, or the start of next. That will probably be available through the Mitcham Cricket Club . In each of these cases the profits, over and above the publishing costs, go back to Mitcham Cricket Club. So that’s likely to be made available fairly soon in the next few months. I hope that people will find it interesting.
Thanks, Adrian. Do keep in touch. And I’ll let you know when his diaries show up. I’ve managed to give the people at Nottinghamshire a physical description of them, courtesy of Greg DeMoore, who worked on them a few years ago. By his account they’re tiny, barely A5 sheets of paper, so I imagine they’re at the back of some shelf in the club library.
Yeah, it would be nice just to have a chance, wouldn’t it, just to look at them and see if there’s anything else in there? They’ve been mined mainly for what they say about WG Grace, I think.
Well, maybe you should you should relay what they say about WG for the benefit of our readers.
Well, they do say that WG Grace was “a damn bad captain.” I think partly this was Southerton feeling that he hadn’t been bowled enough on the 1873/4 tour, and of course there were all those problems with the amateur/professional distinction. But there’s clearly also a great deal of respect between the two. I mean, obviously WG Grace was and is renowned in terms of batting ability, and was a huge draw for people. And he did play in Southerton’s testimonial game. He had good things to say about Southerton—even if he thought he batted with his eyes shut.
In fact, we owe to those diaries one of one of the least flattering vignettes we have of WG. On the voyage out to Australia, we have him drinking enough to drown a calf, while mowing down flocks of birds with a shotgun.
Yeah, he doesn’t come out well in some of those stories.
No, he does not.
But I think WG Grace was someone who you didn’t want to be too disparaging about. I mean, Southerton says these things in his diaries; they don’t appear in the written articles in the press. Grace’s contemporaries knew where their bread was buttered, and that Grace was a great draw and an attraction for crowds—someone you wanted to be on the right side of.
Presumably invented by children, the homeland of cricket is England. Nowadays, cricket is the second most popular sport after soccer. It is a beloved sport in one of the most populous countries in the world – India. Figures show that cricket attracts the attention of over 90% of the sports fans in India. The sport also enjoys great popularity in Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Australia.
Cricket’s fanbase amounts to over 2.5 billion people. Considering the massive following cricket has amassed, it only makes sense that it is a preferred sport among bettors. Online bookies did not miss the opportunity to add cricket to their lists of supported sports.
Punters will notice that some online sportsbooks offer a wide range of betting options, and this complete guide about the cricket betting market will provide them with detailed information about all of them. To help rookie cricket fans make informed choices, we compiled a list of the most profitable betting markets.
Match Winner
Many punters opt for betting on the winner of the game. But if the game ends in a tie, your bet is considered void. In other words, the bookie will return your original wager. If you decide to bet on the winner of the game, you should know that the team with the higher paying odds is the underdog (the team expected to lose the game).
Toss Winner
Half an hour before the commencement of a cricket competition, the home captain will flip a coin in the air, and the visiting captain has to select either head or tails. The captain who accurately predicts the result of the toss has the right to decide which will be the first team to bat on the field.
Some cricket fans believe that this is one of the key moments in the game. That is why many bookies accept wagers on the toss winner. Cricket punters have to keep in mind that the result of the flip-a-coin game is based on pure luck, and wagering a lot of money on it is not advisable.
Top Batsman
The top batsman betting market allows punters to predict the player with the most runs in the game. Some bookies offer this betting market under the name Top Runs Scorer. Even though this is one of the most exciting bets, sometimes it is really hard to determine the top batsman, especially when both teams are equally good.
Top Bowler
In cricket, the major actions are batting and bowling. If you are into cricket, you might be interested in betting on the top bowler – the player to take the most wickets. Another name for this betting market is Top Wicket-Taker. The bowler’s performance depends on various factors such as the weather and the country in which the competition takes place.
First Wicket
The first wicket is another fan-favorite betting market. Players have to guess the method of dismissal for the first wicket. The most widespread of them are caught, bowled, stumped, run out, and leg before wicket (LBW). Before betting on the first wicket, punters have to take a close look at the playing patterns of the batsman and the bowler.
Most Sixes
In cricket, a team can score six runs when the batsman hits the ball, and it does not touch the ground before crossing the boundary in the air. Punters have to predict which will be the team to score the most sixes. Sports fans need to understand the tactics each team plans to use to improve their chances of success.
Man of the Match
Man of the Match is a title given to the player adjudged to have contributed the most to the team in a given match. Usually, a player from the winning team gets the title. In rare cases, the title might go to a player from the losing team. Betting on the Man of the Match is fun, but requires knowledge about the players’ recent performances on the field.
Regardless of which sport you want to bet on, you will probably have the chance to use at least a few different betting promotions. Even though cricket is not one of the sports that can provide you with loads of rewards, there are a few intriguing proposals that you may have the chance to test. The number of available rewards depends on the bookie you’ve chosen, which is why you should choose a suitable iGaming operator.
Before you start looking for a brand that has a lot of cricket betting proposals, there are a few intriguing things you need to know about them. Similar to other bonuses, the ones for cricket have specific conditions that users have to adhere to, so let’s check them out.
Most bonuses can’t be utilized unless you make a deposit and use a promo code
Once you decide which iGaming operator you want to use, head over to the bonus section to see if it has a welcome promotion. The majority of online bookies where you can wager on cricket will provide you with this reward. In fact, after visiting Silentbet, you can find the latest 10cric promotions here, and they are available for new customers + no deposit bonus. If you check the proposal for new signees, you will see that that it requires you to make a deposit and use a special promo code. Therefore, users who are not willing to fund their accounts or forget to use a promo code can’t avail themselves of this reward.
The good news is that the minimum deposit requirement is usually around 1000 INR, which means more people can put it to the test. Keep in mind that this rule changes depending on your preferred betting platform.
The rollover requirement and how much time you have for it
Using an online betting bonus to wager on cricket is fun and can be rewarding. However, you won’t be able to pull out your winnings unless you complete the rollover requirement. The latter is a number that shows you how many times you need to use the bonus funds to place bets.
One of the important things you should know about the wagering condition is how much time you have to complete it. Even though most online bookies will give you several weeks to adhere to this regulation, you may only have the chance to use your bonus for a couple of days.
You have to avoid using some of the Handicap markets, as well as Draw No Bet
One thing that makes some of the cricket betting websites preferred by many people is the number of markets. Besides the 10cric promotions by Silentbet, this iGaming operator also allows its punters to choose from an abundance of betting options. Unfortunately, they won’t be able to utilize all of them while having an active promo.
While it is true that you will have the option to wager on some of the popular alternatives, you will probably have to avoid the Handicap options and Draw No Bet. If you choose these options using your bonus funds, it won’t help you complete the rollover requirements.
Cricket is one of the popular sports in Asia that brings together millions of people from different countries. Despite the fact that it is most popular in India, cricket is gaining more popularity in other countries as well, which is why some of the best online bookmakers started to offer more options for the sport.
Nowadays, you can punt on cricket on every online sports betting website. However, some brands offer better odds, more markets, and extra features, which makes them the preferred option. In addition to those things, you can also find different kinds of cricket betting bonuses that you can put to the test. Not all of them are worth your deposit, but some proposals stand out, so let’s check them out.
Deposit bonus for new cricket players
In order to punt on your favorite sport, you need to have funds in your account. Since every new customer has to make a deposit, some of the best iGaming operators decided to reward their new users with additional bonus funds following their successful transaction. Although not every bookmaker provides these benefits, if you check Nostrabet and this detailed bonus information about 10cric welcome bonuses with and without promo codes, you will see that one of India’s most prominent brands will allow you to put this bonus to the test.
There are different kinds of deposit promotions for new players that you can put to the test. Most of them will allow you to get a 100% bonus after making a deposit, as long as you use a proper promo code. However, you may find different modified versions that could provide you with even more additional funds.
The wagering requirement is the important thing that you should know about the deposit bonuses prior to getting them. Even though most sports betting brands won’t require you to wager your reward more than 15 times, there are always exceptions.
The Cricket Jackpot promotions
The second bonus that makes some cricket players excited is called the Cricket Jackpot bonus. Even though it is rare, punters who go read Nostrabet’s detailed information about the 10cric bonuses will see that this operator provides this proposal. In order to take advantage of it, you have to predict certain pre-selected events successfully.
Although most of the cricket jackpot bonuses require you to guess the final outcome of every match, you could win a smaller prize if you make just one mistake. Make sure to read the applicable Terms and Conditions for more information.
Cashback Cricket proposals
Even though most people who wager on cricket have previous experience with this sport, they can make mistakes. That’s why some of the platforms that will allow you to punt on this sport will provide you with a cricket cashback offer.
There are all kinds of cashback proposals, but all of them will give you a certain amount of the money you’ve used if you don’t predict the bet successfully. Sometimes, these offers may have additional requirements, such as having to wager over a specific amount.
If you are tired of wagering on football and the other popular sports, one of the options that you should definitely take a look at is cricket. This is one of the fastest-growing sports in Asia, which means that millions of people tune in to watch their favorite teams and players on a daily basis. That’s why you can punt on cricket on almost every online betting operator, including brands that are not accessible in Asia.
Even though wagering on this sport is easy, there are some things that you have to keep in mind before you give it a try. Here are some of the important factors that cricket bettors should take into consideration.
Unless you choose one of the better cricket betting sites, you won’t have access to a live streaming option
One of the reasons why some people prefer to bet online instead of visiting a land-based bookmaker is because of the live betting options. Having the chance to wager on matches in real-time is exciting and can be rewarding, as long as you know what you’re doing. With that being said, unless you use these betting sites for cricket ranked by efirbet, finding an iGaming operator that offers a live streaming feature for this sport is not going to be easy. Even though there might be a few brands that provide this feature, you have to spend countless hours until you find them.
Every online bookmaker offers an In-Play section where you could wager on live cricket events. However, only a few brands have a live streaming feature that includes cricket matches from India and several other countries. Needless to say, having access to a live stream while wagering is should have a positive impact on your results.
Unlike football, cricket is a sport that has different formats
If you decide to punt on soccer, the rules stay the same, regardless if you bet on Serie A, the FIFA World Cup, or any other big event. However, this is not the case when it comes down to cricket. That’s why most of the betting sites for cricket ranked by Efirbet will provide you with more information about the different formats.
Speaking of the devil, there are several options that you may have the chance to test. The first one is known as a “Test Match”, which is a game played over the course of around five days. Some people prefer these types of cricket matches because they can bet on either team to win or that the game will end in a draw.
The second popular format that you may come across is known as “One Day Cricket”. As its name suggests, this game is played in one day, and it has 50 overs per team. If that doesn’t seem interesting, you can also experience the T20 cricket format, which has become popular in the last twenty years.
Regardless of which cricket format you choose, you need to have a betting strategy to be successful. This means that it is a good idea to learn more information about the teams, check the most appropriate markets, and so on.
Even though cricket is not often the first option for online bettors, this is definitely one of the most popular sports in the world. It may not have that many fans in Europe or the U.S., but cricket is one of the fastest-growing sports in Asia, especially in countries such as India and Pakistan. Needless to say, this has a massive impact on the iGaming industry because many of the world’s best gambling operators started paying more attention to this sport.
Despite its growing popularity, some online betting platforms do not offer as many options and advantages to people who want to wager on this sport. That’s why it is important to find an iGaming website that will live up to your expectations. With that being said, here are a few things that you should look for when choosing a cricket betting site.
You need to find a place with a solid range of events you can bet on
One of the biggest problems that you have to deal with when choosing an online bookmaker for cricket is the fact that it won’t offer that many events. In most cases, the iGaming operators allow their clients to punt on cricket events in India but forget that there are many other intriguing leagues out there. Fortunately, after you read this 10cric review by betenemy, you will see why cricket fans prefer to use this operator instead of its counterparts. It offers almost every cricket league and event in the world, which means you will have plenty of options to pick from.
Keep in mind that not every cricket league is the same when it comes down to the available options. Naturally, some of them will offer more things than others, so make sure to check the most popular competitions before deciding which one to bet on.
The best cricket betting website needs to have at least a few features
The fact that you will have multiple events to bet on is a plus, but it is not enough to make a given gambling website worth it. Another thing that will definitely have a positive impact once you decide to punt on cricket is the different features. Some of the leading iGaming operators may allow you to test four or even more options. For example, people who skim through the 10cric review by Betenemy will see that one of the leading bookmakers in India offers Cash Out, Live Betting, and more. These options should help you maximize your winnings because they allow you have full control over your bet.
The iGaming operator that will allow you to bet on cricket should offer good odds
Whether you want to punt on cricket, football, eSports, or something else, the iGaming site you are after needs to offer good odds. Most of the cricket betting platforms you will come across are known for providing punters with good options. Needless to say, you need to compare the different sports betting platforms prior to choosing one of them. Usually, some of them will offer better odds than others.
oosing a cricket betting website is usually not as easy as people think, especially in some parts of the world. Although this is one of the biggest sports in the world, many online bookmakers don’t offer that many cricket betting options. That’s because most of their clients prefer to wager on other things, such as eSports. With that being said, here are some of the five potential problems you may face when choosing a cricket betting website.
It may not be available in your country
Unfortunately, the most common problem people have to deal with when choosing a betting site to punt on cricket is that the given bookie is not available in their country. Fortunately, the recommended cricket betting sites for this year from Betenemy are known for having licenses that allow them to work under numerous jurisdictions. In other words, you should be able to access them, even if you live in a country with strict gambling laws.
Keep in mind that you can always download and install a VPN client and use it to access a given website. Of course, before that, you need to make sure that you won’t breach any of the local laws.
Some bookmakers offer plenty of bonuses, but none of them can be used for cricket
Besides the fact that you may not have the chance to access the bookmaker you are interested in, you may not be able to use any bonuses. As you know, some of the world’s best iGaming websites offer different kinds of proposals for their customers who wager on sports. However, since cricket is not the go-to option for most online bettors, some bookmakers don’t provide any rewards for it. So, don’t be surprised if the bookie has more than 10 bonuses, and neither one works if you want to punt on this sport.
No betting features for cricket
One of the things that made some iGaming websites more popular than others is the different betting features. Despite the fact that the different cricket betting sites found at Betenemy are known for their unique options, most bookies don’t offer anything for this sport. Even some classic options, such as Cash Out and Live Streaming usually can’t be used, even by people who want to punt on live cricket matches. Therefore, check the specific bookie and test its features before you start betting.
Worse odds compared to those available to other sports
The odds are one of the most important things that people consider when choosing a cricket betting site. Some brands are aware that their cricket betting customers want better odds, but others don’t pay much attention to this sport. Consequently, the odds may not be as good as those found in other sports.
Lack of betting guides
Despite the fact that not everyone needs cricket betting guides, some people are more than happy when they can read a few tips and tricks. Unfortunately, only a few iGaming operators will allow you to read betting tips about this sport. Most online bookmakers only provide tips and tricks for punting on football.
Despite the fact that cricket is a popular sport, not everyone has a lot of experience when it comes down to betting on it. Since cricket is most popular in India, Pakistan, and a few other countries, online bettors based in Europe or the U.S.are yet to discover the advantages of punting on this sport.
Before we share some of the betting tips you should be aware of, it is important to know that some of them apply to every sport. In other words, you can use some of the information in this article if you decide to punt on ice hockey, football, tennis, or something else.
Check the pitch conditions before you start wagering
Even though this might seem obvious, many people forget to check how the pitch looks before they start punting. Since cricket is a sport that is played outside, things, such as the weather may have a serious impact on the two teams. So, once you find out which are the best cricket betting sites online thanks to Nostabet and its team of experts, check the available matches and make sure to read more info about the weather forecast. If you see that it will rain, the pitch will be wet, which has to be taken into consideration. Needless to say, you should avoid wagering on some of the markets that involve scoring over a certain number of points.
Learn more about the format of the league/event you bet on
One of the common mistakes people make when betting is not learning more about the specific league or tournament they are interested in. While it is true that most bettors usually know the rules of sports, such as football, this isn’t the case when it comes down to cricket.
The good news is that you can learn more info about a specific league or event in a matter of seconds. All you need is to type the name of the event you are interested in, and you can learn the specific rules. Even though most cricket tournaments are similar, there might be some exceptions, depending on where it is held.
Don’t bet on teams or markets that you are not familiar with
Regardless of which sport you are interested in, it is usually not a good idea to wager on markets or specific teams that you are not familiar with. If you take a good look at the best cricket betting sites from Nostrabet, you will definitely come across many new markets and teams that you haven’t heard of. Although some of them may offer exceptional odds, it is usually not a good idea to punt on them unless you have previous experience.
One of the easiest ways of learning more about those things is by reading cricket betting tips. Sadly, finding a reputable source for these things usually takes time, which is why some people decide not to take advantage of them.
First Class status came Warwickshire’s way in 1894 and, to date, the county’s history has been chronicled in full in three books. The first was a slim volume by Edgell and Frazer that appeared in 1946, Warwickshire County Cricket Club: A History, before Leslie Duckworth produced the magisterial Story of Warwickshire Cricket which, published in 1974, took the story to 1972. The Warwickshire volume in the Helm series was the last of the three, published in 1990, and written by former player turned writer/broadcaster Jack Bannister.
Three men who appeared for Warwickshire in their first summer as a First Class county have been the subject of books. One is the mighty SF Barnes, looked at under Lancashire. The other two are less well known today. The eldest, at 33, is John Shilton. Past his best by 1894 slow left arm bowler Shilton only played for the county at First Class level 19 times, but he was an interesting character and a 64 page ACS published booklet, John Edward Shilton’s Book by Robert Brooke appeared in 1984.
AFA ‘Dick’ Lilley was the county’s wicketkeeper in their first summer, and by the time he retired in 1911 had played 35 times for England, yet he is not much remembered today. His was a big name in 1912 however and Twenty Four Years Of Cricket, a very early autobiography from a professional, was an impressive production for the time.
Lilley’s successor behind the stumps for England was his county colleague ‘Tiger’ Smith. The Tiger played on until 1930, became a top umpire and later coached the county. He was the oldest surviving England Test player when he died in 1979 and lived long enough to co-operate fully with his biographer, Pat Murphy. ‘Tiger’ Smith of Warwickshire and England was published in 1981.
In 1911 Warwickshire unexpectedly won the County Championship. Their captain was a talented young all-rounder who went to Australia that winter and continued his fairytale by playing a major role in England recapturing the Ashes. Sadly for Frank Foster however his career was over at 25 and his life after that was an odd one. An autobiography, Cricketing Memories, was published in 1930 and an excellent biography, Frank Foster: The Fields Were Sudden Bare came along in 2011 in the ACS Lives in Cricket series, authored by Robert Brooke.
With Foster in Australia in 1911/12 was batsman Sep Kinneir, although he played in just a single Test. Along with ‘Big Jim’ Smith of Middlesex Kinneir is one of the two subjects of David Smith’s 2000 published Corsham’s Two Test Cricketers.
The Championship year marked the first full season for Jack Parsons. He began as a professional, went to war and won a commission and the Military Cross before returning to the county as an amateur. Parsons then turned pro again and, on being ordained, returned to the amateur ranks. In a career that lasted over a quarter of a century he was a fine batsman and in 1980 was the subject of a biography by Gerald Howat, Cricketer Militant.
Percy Jeeves, whose name was used by PG Wodehouse for his famous literary character, was a hugely promising all-rounder who enjoyed three seasons at Edgbaston between 1912 and 1914 before losing his life on the Somme in 1916. Almost a century later, in 2013, Jeeves was the subject of a fine biography by Brian Halford, The Real Jeeves: The Cricketer Who Gave His Life for His Country and His Name to a Legend.
Four men who made their debuts for Warwickshire between the wars have been the subject of biographies. All were international players, albeit one of them, Peter Cranmer, played Rugby Union for England rather than cricket. Cranmer was a good batsman, and led the county on either side of World War Two. His biography, ‘Tiz All Accordin’ by David Goodyear, was published in 2000.
Bob Wyatt also led Warwickshire and also, in fifteen of his forty Tests, England. One of the most durable batsmen of his era Wyatt was also a good enough medium pacer to take more than nine hundred First Class wickets. There was an autobiography from Wyatt, Three Straight Sticks, that was published in 1951. An excellent biography by Gerald Pawle, RES Wyatt: Fighting Cricketer appeared in 1985.
Reading born Tom Dollery began his career in 1934, and in time led Warwickshire to their second Championship title in 1951. His autobiography, Professional Captain, was published in 1952.
One of the most important members of Dollery’s side, and the man who famously bowled Don Bradman in his last Test innings, was leg spinner Eric Hollies. Hollies, who had debuted in 1932, like Dollery penned an autobiography, I’ll Spin You A Tale, in 1955. He was later the subject of a biography by Norman Rogers, Eric Hollies: The Peter Panof Cricket, that appeared in 2002.
In 1946 the New Zealand born pace bowler Tom Pritchard joined Warwickshire and stayed for ten seasons. His commitments to the county meant that Test cricket was not an option for Pritchard and his name is a forgotten one today. He was a top class bowler though and a biography, Tom Pritchard: Greatness Denied, was published in New Zealand in 2013, when Pritchard was 97!
Another Tom, this time Cartwright, started at Edgbaston in 1952. A supremely effective medium pacer and more than useful batsman we are fortunate that Cartwright’s life appealed to the greatest modern cricket chronicler, Stephen Chalke. The Flame Still Burns was published in 2007.
Future England captain Mike Smith, generally known just by his initials, MJK, first played for Warwickshire in 1956. His second and final retirement came in 1975 and, eventually, a very good biography appeared. MJK Smith: No Ordinary Man is one of the best of the ACS Lives in Cricket series. Written by Douglas Miller it was published in 2014.
In 1958 a fifteen year old batsman arrived at Edgbaston. It would be 29 years and 102 centuries later before Dennis Amiss left, and even then he rejoined the county as CEO in the 1990s. Amiss gave his name to a modest autobiography, In Search of Runs, in 1973. Later he was the subject of a book by David Goodyear in 1985 and, just a few months ago, a very good follow up to the 1973 book arrived, Not Out At Close Of Play.
Bob Willis moved to Edgbaston in 1972 after spending his earliest years with Surrey. His best days almost invariably came when he had the three lions of England on his chest, but Willis was always popular in Birmingham. He published an autobiography, Lasting the Pace, in 1985 and before that there had been three diaries, one of the 1979 season and two covering his tours in charge of England in 1982/83 and 1983/84. All were put in the shade by an excellent appreciation published in 2020 in the wake of Willis’s untimely death, Bob Willis: A Cricketer and a Gentleman, edited by brother David.
All-rounder Paul Smith spent fifteen summers with Warwickshire between 1972 and 1987 and has had an interesting and, for a cricketer, unconventional life. He wrote a very readable autobiography, Wasted?, published in 2007. A possibly more tortured soul and contemporary of Smith’s was Dermot Reeve whose book, Winning Ways, appeared in 1996 a time when life was still going well for him.
Batsman Wasim Khan spent three summers with his native Warwickshire, three with Sussex and one with Derbyshire without ever quite fulfilling his early promise. He seems an unlikely candidate for an autobiography but in 2007 Brimful of Passion was very well received, his work in the community as CEO of the Cricket Foundation’s Chance To Shine campaign bringing him rather more recognition than his batting had done.
The last Warwickshire player, to date, to be the subject of a book was Jonathan Trott, whose 2016 book Unguarded is testament to Trott’s honesty and integrity, and to George Dobell being one of the very best of today’s writers on the game.
The Tempus 100 Greats book on Warwickshire was published in 2001. The fact that it was written by Robert Brooke means it is, perhaps, a cut above the rest of that estimable series. A couple of single season books are Brian Halford’s The Year of the Bear, which covers the county’s title winning summer of 2004. A decade earlier, in 1994, the county had come within the toss of a coin of landing all four of the trophies that the counties then had to compete for. Pat Murphy’s The Greatest Season, published in 2019, is a splendid retrospective on a remarkable year. Finally in the catch all category is a little known gem, A Warwickshire Cricket Chronicle, a book published by Barry Griffiths in 1988, and which amounts to a history of the club from its formation to the outbreak of the Great War.
And my two choices? Despite the modern game not being my favourite cricketing subject I would like to read an autobiography from Ian Bell, so that would be one. The other would be a nod back in time to 1911 and an account of the men and the matches that produced that unexpected County Championship. Having written Tiger Smith’s biography, and The Greatest Season that one must surely be a retirement project for Patrick Murphy?
England boasts the strength in depth that allows them to remain competitive in white-ball cricket regardless of who is ruled in or out of their plans at any given tournament. Considerable time and effort have been spent ensuring that mistakes of the past are not repeated.
It does, however, go without saying that every side would prefer to be at full strength given the choice. Nobody – from teammates to supporters, to broadcast companies – wants to see superstar performers sat at home. The preference will always be to get key men out in the middle.
Sometimes, fate plays a different hand. England has, for the most part, found a way of dealing with that. They are, after all, the reigning world champions in the 50-over format and currently priced 3/1 odds within outright cricket betting markets at Betfair to retain that crown in 2023. Given that they have match-winning talent at their disposal with bat and ball, it comes as no surprise to find that Eoin Morgan’s side is the frontrunner for further prizes – especially as they also have some household names to absorb back into the fold.
Few will forget Jofra Archer’s debut year in international cricket, thanks to his heroics at the 2019 World Cup win and his explosion into Test cricket.
Archer has taken 42 wickets in 13 Tests, but an elbow injury has halted his progress, ruling him out for much of 2021.#BHMpic.twitter.com/rltK3WURZ6
One of those is Jofra Archer. The Barbados-born seamer, who burst onto a global stage at the 2019 World Cup, has been enduring a tough time with injury of late. He was kept out of the T20 World Cup by an elbow problem and will also miss England’s Ashes tour of Australia this winter.
Can Archer deliver on his promises?
While Archer is being forced to rest and recuperate at present, he will be charging back into the crease before too long. Both he and England will hope that he returns fitter and stronger than ever. His value to any given collective cause is without question, particularly in the shorter forms of the game. The IPL’s Most Valuable Player from 2020 has taken 153 wickets through 120 T20 games at an average of 22.52 and with a strike rate of 17.60. 14 of those wickets have been taken in T20 internationals, with a further 30 claimed in ODIs.
England may not need Archer back, firing on all cylinders and bowling at 90-plus mph, but they would like to see him doing that. Competition for places helps to keep everyone on their toes. The man himself has vowed to shake off any fitness concerns and put himself in contention for regular outings across all formats. He has not grown accustomed to life as a spectator.
Def doing everything in my power so I never have to watch another tournament on the sofa again
He posted on social media during the T20 World Cup: “Def doing everything in my power so I never have to watch another tournament on the sofa again.”
Archer, as an elite sportsman operating at the highest level, knows that words count for little without actions to back them up. Making vows from the comfort of your living room is one thing, delivering on the said promise is a different matter entirely. England, and the wider cricketing community, expects a lot from Archer. Archer intends to deliver, and if he does, then the rest of the world had better watch out.
Preparation is key to success in all sports, but especially cricket where timing and rhythm out in the middle can determine whether a team wins or loses a significant series. Therefore, teams across the world are looking at how they can improve their approaches before major competitions in order to get the best out of their talent to ensure they are fit and firing from ball one.
Work/Life Balance
South Africa have experienced life in the bubble ahead of the 2021 World T20 and have been able to spend more time with loved ones ahead of the 2021 World T20. Players such as Temba Bavuma, Rassie van der Dussen and Keshav Maharaj enjoyed the benefit of having relatives and partners accompany them ahead of the tournament and are now feeling confident about the outcome. For the players and their loved ones, their daily activities revolved around fitness regimes in the gym and watching a lot of TV and movies.
Building a rapport within the ranks is key ahead of major competitions, allowing the players to bond with one another while working on their skills. However, it is also important to remember that the players are in a working environment, with their performance closely monitored during training as well as during matches, and although sport may not be seen to be a regular 9-5 occupation, there are fans, bookmakers, sponsors and teammates relying on them to succeed. So, cricketers need to spend time away from their job and with their loved ones and friends to keep the balance in check.
This is why Van der Dussen highlighted the importance of spending time with his partner even when travelling abroad. The ability to tour with relatives, partners and friends allows cricketers to enjoy both facets of life, without having to miss out on time with their loved ones. A happy mind is vital for a sportsman given the rigours they will endure in the middle.
Is There Too Much Cricket?
The Proteas have ensured that their players have been rotated in and out of the line-up to avoid prolonged spells in the side. Teams such as England have come under fire for their policy of resting players for tours, especially in their series against India where Jos Buttler, Moeen Ali and Chris Woakes were sent home after a short period of time. The Three Lions’ results suffered as a consequence, although the outcome of their series against India may have been the same even with the three players in the side.
Cricketers are now playing more than ever due to the increase of domestic T20 tournaments that are being squeezed into the international calendar. It is affecting all facets of the game, including preparation for the series.
England themselves have been hampered ahead of the 2021/22 Ashes by the fact that many of their stars are playing in the ICC World T20, whereas part of the squad is preparing for the tour down under.
Australia are also dealing with the same issues ahead of their vital defence. Given that there are great differences between all three disciplines of the game, the ICC along with the governing bodies of all nations must have to consider the structure of the international calendar.
It will be a difficult proposition and the popularity of T20 cricket has given the sport a healthy problem, albeit one that has endangered Test cricket. The ICC need to ensure that they maintain the integrity of the sport by ensuring that the best players in the world are fit and firing for the showcase events in the world. An overwhelming schedule will only detriment the players and potentially harm the product on the field.

The Indian Premier League 2021 concluded on October 15 with the Chennai Super Kings winning the playoffs. Now, with the season in the books, the IPL is looking forward to 2022 and hopefully, a season that isn’t disrupted. The 2022 campaign will see two additional teams added to the competition making it a 10-team IPL season.
January will feature the IPL 2022 auction which will have an INR 90 crore purse as teams assemble their teams. The IPL’s eight original franchises are currently in the retention window of the offseason. The retention window started on 1 November and will close on 30 November. The window for the two new IPL franchises will open on 1 December and close on 25 December. IPL fans have a lot of reasons to wager on the best cricket in the world in 2022. If you are interested in the best betting apps for iOS, Android, and Windows devices, then don’t miss the latest reviews before downloading a new betting app.
IPL 2022 auction
The IPL 2022 auction purse is set at INR 90 crore for each team. The amount is an increase from last season’s auction purse of INR 85 crore. This year’s purse is approximately £8.97 million per franchise. Each of the IPL’s eight established franchises can keep up to four players from their previous squads. salary structure has been announced for the number of squad members retained.
The IPL’s two new teams for 2022, Lucknow and Ahmedabad, will be able to sign up to three players from the cricket player pool once the league’s established teams have selected their retention picks. The IPL 2022 player auction looks likely to take place in January 2022.
The rules for player retention
The rules for the IPL 2022 auction will see the eight established teams charged INR 16 crore for the first player retained, INR 12 crore for the second player retained, INR 8 crore for the third player retained, and INR 6 crore for the fourth player kept. The overall charge for an established team keeping ahold of four players will be INR 42 crore.
The amount for retaining three players, two players, or one player are slightly different. A team keeping ahold of three players will be charged INR 15 crore, INR 11 crore, and INR 7 crore, for a grand total of INR 33 crore. Teams retaining two players will be charged INR 14 crore and INR 10 crore, for a grand total fee of INR 24 crore. If one player is kept, a team will be debited INR 14 crore.
IPL teams can pay players whatever salary the two parties agree on. The fee that is higher (the auction fee or salary) will ultimately be deducted from the team’s auction purse. If a team pays a player less salary than the player’s retention fee, they will be charged the retention fee amount. If a club pays a player’s salary that is more than the amount paid to retain them, then the higher amount will be charged from the team’s auction purse. The rules apply to the two new IPL clubs as well.
