England v Stanford Superstars 20/20 Odds
The England v Stanford Superstars 20/20 odds have them as odds on favourites to carry off the huge $20 million prize money. The Series culminates on Saturday with the Twenty20 match between a West Indies and England XI who are effectively the two national sides. The series is then followed by a five-year contract signed between the English and Welsh Cricket Board (ECB) and Texas billionaire Allen Stanford.
The Series has attracted a huge amount of criticism both prior to and now during the series and it is likely to drag in until ECB Chairman, Giles Clarke has resigned. In the warm up matches for the one off finale, the series has been plagued by poor pitches, poor lighting, poor matches and now Stanford himself has been forced to apologise for his irreverent behaviour with the wives and girlfriends of the English players. .

England Captain Kevin Pietersen who will select the team likened the match to that of a first day of an Ashes series, but he was non-committal as to what his final line up will be. Particularly as their one run victory over a Trinidad & Toabago team was hardly an impressive warm up.
Four of the players, Stuart Broad, Ryan Sidebottom, Luke Wright and James Anderson are all in their sick beds nursing bugs, while Andrew Flintoff, Owais Shah and Matt Prior all needed treatment in their opening game.
Pietersen however continues winning matches as the Captain, he has yet to face defeat in any form of the game since he took over the reins and he should be victorious once again in this winner take all match.
Betting
England are 8/11 and the Stanford Superstars are 5/4..
