Final markets locked in ahead of Sunday's match
The final betting odds are here for today’s 2022 Kunyung Cup.
While there are some surprises in the best sledge, the lowest prices are not one with Mitch Drummond being too nice to sledge people, causing him to be at extremely outside odds. However, while Mo Bent also has these qualities, his lack of sleep since becoming a father has apparently affected his temper. This, along with his quick wit, creates a deadly sledging combination. James Graham is a fair chance to win best sledge due to the amount that he will dish out, there is sure to be at least one decent one in there.
Britton Upchurch quite clearly is low in the ‘most spectacular dismissal’ odds, as every ball he bowls is technically a no-ball. Billy Fogaty is a surprise packet for most spectacular dismissal, although some are questioning whether money is coming in for him to be spectacularly dismissed, as this betting segment is quite ambiguous. Victor Bredin is high for most spectacular dismissal, after his recent sporting performances have given him legend status for scoring a goal from a goalkeeper’s kick out at the Jindi Cup. Pundits are saying that smart money is on Andrew Richardson, as he hasn’t taken a wicket yet, any dismissal he gets would be spectacular.
At $700 for the biggest six, punters have clearly got in their minds Kurt Jungling’s measured and delicate play from last season. He clearly models his game to the saying, ‘if you hit the ball along the ground, you can’t get caught.’ Jacob Mehrtens’ brute strength should see a massive six being hit, however the cricketing experience of Tim Drummond and Rick Jones should hit a decent sized six.
Strong money is coming in for James Graham to forget something important after he admitted that he didn’t know what team he was on. Mo Bent may not forget an important item, however he is expected to forget what time the event actually starts. Jacob Mehrtens is too organised to forget something important. Mitch Drummond, as organised as he is, is surprisingly having quite a bit of money being placed on him in this category. However, there is speculation that these are Ranelagh fans hoping that he forgets his cricketing talent.
It will be interesting to see how these bets all play out today.
