Over the last few decades the age old sport of cricket has undergone many transformations, most notably its evolution from a 'stuffy and purist' sport (where 5-day Test matches were considered the only true form of competition) to a sport boasting vibrant 'One-Day' or 'Limited Overs' games and tournaments. These new formats of the game have made cricket a faster, more dynamic and increasingly universal sport which has helped cultivate a whole new generation of cricket fans around the world.
And, of course, as new, faster and arguably more exciting cricket formats and competitions have evolved, so too have cricket betting fans who thanks to the advent of safe, convenient and secure online betting websites, have a bigger choice of cricket betting options than ever before. For instance, over and above the traditional Test matches played between two countries, cricket fans routinely bet on the ICC Cricket World Cup, the Ashes, IPL, ODI cricket or Twenty20 (T20) cricket games and competitions.
And as cricket has evolved, so too have the type of crickets bets that can be laid. For instance, in the cricket betting section of most good online sports books you should be able to place wagers such as the following : Individual Bowlers Series Wickets, Highest Innings Score, Lowest Innings Score, Total Runs in an Inning, Match Score, Match Bets, Tournament Bets, Moneyline, Series Scores, Match Scores, Top Bowler, Individual Bowlers Series Wickets, Top Batsman and Odd Or Even Run Scores.
