Long term bets..
Prince EWS and myself have made some long term bets regarding Cricketers.
I just thought it would be good to post on here so we have a record of it. The bets are written in my favour so if these things happen I win, if they don't Prince wins. These are the bets that we have come up with. - Mitchell Johnson less then 1 test hundred - Dale Steyn will average over 25.00 with the ball - George Bailey will average more then Sarwan in Test Cricket (Bailey must play a test). - Chris Martin to make a test match 10 - Mahendra Dhoni will average more then Brad Haddin at test cricket (Haddin must play a test). - Alastair Cook will average more then Graeme Smith in test cricket - Yuvraj will average 40 in both forms of the game More bets to come..

Smith is averaging 46.81 currently and Cook 44.81. I think once Cook starts making bigger hundreds he'll soon catch up. His highest score is just 127. |

I'm not convinced TBH. I also think you'll win with regards to Yuvraj. I am not sure if he'll average 40+ in either form, let alone both.

I can see most people disagreeing with my Mitchell Johnson stance, but I have a feeling. |

Not because he's better or anything. Ali Cook will be an all-time great batsman though, and the increased number of Tests played (which'll only increase in years to come) will see 15,000 a very achieveable feat. Especially for one who has started the game so young.

Because he's just an average bowler. Can tear through sides when conditions suit and he is in good rhythm, but up against a decent batting lineup I feel as though he'll get hammered. Definitely not sub-25 material. Probably 27 or 28.

Has to be nearly as good a player as the Indian Maestro to get 15,000. |
