The Cricket World Cup 2011 gets underway on Saturday and the Cricket World Cup 2011 Odds are less confident about England's chances than they were a few weeks ago, England are now fifth favourites to lift the Cricket World Cup on 2nd April.
Australia Now More Fancied Than England
After the recent One Day Internationals against Australia, England's stock has fallen somewhat and with that their odds of winning the Cricket World Cup 2011 have drifted, England are now rated the fifth best team in the competition and can be backed at 8/1 with Victor Chandler and Boylesports. The good news for England is that they should start with a win against the Netherlands on Tuesday, they are just 1/14 with Blue Square to do so. The wins Australia have had over England recently have seen the Aussies, who have won the last three Cricket World Cups, move ahead of England and become 6/1 chances with Bet365, who offer up to £200 in free bets to new customers. Considering they have won four of the last six Cricket World Cups that looks a more than fair price.
