England go into Saturday's $20million Twenty20 shootout as the 8/13 favourites, according to bookie Paddy Power. However the biggest talking point of the Stanford Twenty20 this week hasn't been the megabucks on offer but the outrageous number of dropped catches at Antigua's Stanford Cricket Ground. Paddy Power are betting on how many catches are dropped in the main game between England and the Stanford Superstars, making it just 9/4 that seven or more are spilled. Four and five dropped catches are on offer at 5/2 whilst the unlikely scenario of all chances being held is 25/1.

However despite home advantage it is the Stanford Superstars who are expected to down most catches with the bookie making them 8/13 to England's 6/5. Darren Haines, spokesman for Paddy Power, said: “Everybody enjoys seeing a sportsman drop a clanger, the only question in Stanford Twenty20 seems to be how many. With the poor wicket, outfield, and floodlights the dropped catches could prove to be the highlight of the match, especially with the added pressure of $20million playing on the fielders' minds. Skipper Kevin Pietersen is the 11/4 favourite to lead the way and top score for England.
