Cricket Betting

Cricket, also known as the gentleman’s game unless you’re a fan in which case it’s a barmy game. There are 104 countries playing international cricket today. Originally, cricket was the national sport of England and as the British Empire expanded, they began teaching those they had conquered or colonised. They later found out that it was a very bad idea as these countries started beating them at it!
Australian cricket consists of the national team, the Ford Ranger cup, an intense one day competition and the Sheffield Shield, the competition where the counties of Australia battle to be the best in the country.
Live cricket betting is available over the phone via SportingBet, Australia’s largest online bookmaker.
