Stan James will refund all losing bets on the outright market for the forthcoming T20 World Cup placed before the start of the 1st game (New Zealand v Sri Lanka) on Friday if England land the Trophy.

StanJames will also continue with their other offers of paying out both sides as winners in the event of a tie and of refunding losing top bat stakes if the selection scores 50 in the innings but fails to top score.

Stan James spokesman Charlie McCann told Bettigpro  "England ought to progress to the Super 8's without any alarms but, despite the inclusion of the exciting Craig Kieswetter and Michael Lumb, we think Paul Collingwood's side will fall short again although this looks a better balanced T20 side and there doesn't appear to be an outstanding team in the tournament. Indeed perhaps we have a better chance of winning a cricket rather than football World Cup in 2010. "
