The Proteas take on Pakistan in two T20 Internationals in Abu Dhabi over the next two days, and I thought it a good idea to put up a thread for all to comment and chat while we give the Pakistani Bookies a bit of a hammering.
It is interesting to note that South Africa are favourites for the first game to start at 5pm tonight, only meaning that the Paki’s can get better odds on their own team. I reckon we should easily take them, and will be betting the Proteas.Odds are:
South Africa – 6/10
Pakistan – 13/10
For the die hard fan out there, you can also bet who will be hitting the most sixes on the night:
South Africa – 9/10
Pakistan – 14/10
For those interested, the first ball of the third over will be a wide…
