Cricket: Aus vs NZ on Friday
Well, I don't have much to say but New Zealand are way overpriced again this time IMO at $3.15 on centrebet / $3.00 on the TAB. Get on the Kiwi's!
They should get around 8.5pts start so that might be a good cover bet for $1.90 odds aswell.

Cricket or Rugby
 If its rugby, then I never bet on these test matches. If Australia tried hard then they would win by 50 points every time. They are that much better (despite some blatant selection problems). These days Club Games are the only time the players give 100%. $1.37 is great value if the Kangaroos actually turn up, but i doubt it. the only think working in their favour is the 6 broncos  The team should be picked on form, not reputation. If i had my turn, the team would look something like this: 1 Matt Bowen 2 Timana Tahu 3 Matt Cooper 4 Justin Hodges 5 Matt King 6 Darren Lockyer 7 Jonathon Thurston 8 Luke Bailey 9 Cameron Smith 10 Willie Mason 11 Nathan Hindmarsh 12 Ryan Hoffman 13 Greg Bird 14 Petero Civoniceva 15 Mark O'Meley 16 Mark Minichiello 17 Billy Slater plenty of risks, but why not give them a go if you don't care anyway  As for the cricket, its hard to see Australia being beaten from the way they are going so far (yes a very late call i know)

oops! Don't know why I put cricket hehe.
I know they don't give it their all, that's why I always back the kiwi's! This weeks side is full of all the old over rated players that have passed their peak. Your team looks better but I definately wouldn't have Timana Tahu in there. I think I'd move Billy Slater there and bring Steve Price into the lineup, he's still one of the best; if not the best prop going around. NZ have a great side, I really wouldn't be suprised if they win by 13+. Or maybe I'm being a little too ambitious Quote:

Diggo,
can you be more specific and name these"old overrated players?" As for OZ not trying hard enough,that's total ****. Love or hate Ricky Stuart,the bloke hates losing. As far as "form"goes,hoe many times has it been evidenced that players "out of form"at club level seem to grow an extra leg when playing for their country? The selectors realise this fact,otherwise how would 6 Broncos get in? As for K retaining the fullback position,the bloke has done nothing wrong and remained loyal to OZ when he would have been a shoe in to play for NZ. I'm a big fan of Matty Bowen,but it,s getting a bit tedious hearing all the whinging about him not getting the nod because he is the form fullback. IMO Billy Slater is in better form than Matty,yet there is no "push" for him.

Mate if you think these players give 100% in test matches and origin then you are very wrong. The NRL premiership is the only thing they really give their all.
Karmichael may have not done anything wrong, its just that Slater and Bowen and probably even Stewart and Mackinnon are playing far better "Old overrated players": Brent Tate, Jamie Lyon, Andrew Ryan, Steve Simpson etc,
