England go into this first ODI against Pakistan at the Riverside as massive odds on favourites to take a 1-0 lead in the five match series; bet365 make England 4/11 with Pakistan at 11/5 and also have England as 1/5 to win the series with the tourists at 7/2.
Having thrashed Pakistan in the two match, Twenty/20 series by 2-0 amidst the ongoing illegal betting scandal, concerning several Pakistan players, it is little wonder that England are enjoying profound dominance over what looks to be an extremely jaded Pakistan squad, who seem more interested in getting home than playing cricket. As good as it was to see England win the Twenty/20 matches it was also sad to see what, under normal circumstances would be a vibrant Pakistan team, play so feebly and lose so badly.
Odds Comparison and England v Pakistan ODI Fixture list
England make three changes to the Twenty/20 squad, back comes captain, Andrew Strauss , Jonathan Trott and bowler Ajmal Shahzad, but out goes Craig Kieswetter, who opened for the Twenty/20 side. Trott who played magnificently in the four match test series between the two countries, looks a sound bet to continue his good form and would be our pick to be England’s top batsman in this match with odds of 4/1 from Bet365. The Top England Batsman Odds are:
Top England Batsman Odds
10/3 Andrew Strauss
4/1 Jonathan Trott
4/1 Stephen Davies
4/1 Eoin Morgan
5/1 Paul Collingwood
10/1 Luke Wright
14/1 Michael Yardy.

As for Pakistan it is very difficult to spot anyone who has the form or the mood to deliver the goods at the batting crease, but if anyone can it will be captain, Shahid Afridi, although from his position down the order, he might not get enough time to be top run scorer. It is probably best therefore to back the tried and tested Mohammad Yousuf, who showed some form in the test series and does have a sound sense of responsibility. At 3/1 with Bet365.com he represents good enough value to back as Pakistan Top Batsman.
We think England will get off to a flyer in this series, which if they do, then they will be strong favourites not only to win the series but also to complete a series whitewash.
Series Odds
England win 4-1 – 19/10
England win 3-2 – 11/4
England win 5-0 – 11/4
Pakistan win 3-2 – 4/1
Pakistan win 4-1 – 16/1
Pakistan win 5-0 – 66/1
Selection 1: Jonathan Trott to be Top England Batsman @ 4/1 (£25 bet wins £100)
Selection 2: Mohammad Yousuf to be Top Pakistan Batsman @ 3/1 (£25 bet wins £75)
