Australia are the 1/7 favourites with William Hill to beat England in their next ODI meeting for which England are offered at 4/1.

The Bookies predict a New Zealand-Australia final with England offered at 6/4 to make the finals and 1/2 that they fail to do so.

Mike Hussey is very much the man of the moment and William Hill have created a match bet for who will score more runs Mike Hussey or England's key man Andrew Flintoff with Hussey offered at 8/15 to outscore Freddy and 11/8 that the Englishman comes out on top in the battle.

"The odds suggest that the gulf between England and Australia is as big as it has ever been, with no one in the office able to think of a time when Australia have been so short for a one day against England. Friday's match coincides with Australia day and there is no way the Aussies will let up on England, even at 4/1, I doubt we will see a three figure bet for England," said William Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams.
