Will Ricky Pointing Be ICC Trophy Top Run Scorer?
Currently 14.0 on Betfair.com - Well you certainly can't rule it out but to be honest I am suprised he is favorite and at 14.0 - I think there is better value out there. It's not that Pointing isn't a great batsman, he is, but it's the rest of his team I am worried about. When backing the top run scorer you need to think about the teams that are going to get to atleast the semi final and don't be suprised if Australia miss out and exist the tournament in the group stages.
Will Sachin Tendulkar Be ICC Trophy Top Run Scorer?
Currently 17.0 on Betfair.com - Obviously Sachin is a fantastic one day international player and the odds on him being the ICC Trophy top run scorer look inviting at 17.0. There isn't a lot to seperate the top 4 in terms of potential but you have to be tempted to back Sachin knowing that Virender Sehwag is out for India. Sachin usually stands up to be counted when India need him to and if they are going to win the tournament then he is going to have a major role to play.
Will Graeme Smith Be ICC Trophy Top Run Scorer?
Currently 17.5 on Betfair.com - It doesn't seem likely that Graeme Smith will be the top batsman in the ICC champions trophy. He has been a little out of form in both test match cricket and ODI's this year and making him 3rd favortie seems incorrect. However South Africa do have homefield advantage and this might just be enough to spur him on.
Will AB De Villiers Be ICC Trophy Top Run Scorer?
Currently at 19.5 on Betfair.com - This is where the smart money is going. The man is electric and at nearly 20/1 in old money he seems like a worthy gamble. South Africa have a major advantage playing at home and have a great chance of making the final giving AB De Villiers plenty of chances to nail some big scores. I back him on Betfair.com at 19.5 this morning!
