England v South Africa First Test Odds

The England v South Africa First Test odds for this England South Africa betting First test match at Lords has the Proteus as easy to back favourites. While England should come into the series with confidence gained after their 2-0 Test series win against New Zealand, they know that the South Africans will be a completely different proposition. Many are predicting a series whitewash for Graeme Smith's men but that is unlikely as the weather will surely come to the rescue at least once during the summer. The South Africans are in fact 6/5 to win the series and that looks a tasty bet to us!

It seems that the South Africans could have a decisive advantage in the bowling department, they have five men at least that can send the ball down in excess of 90 mph and you can bet your bottom dollar that they will do exactly that. There is a perception amongst the South Africans that England's frontline batsmen can perform like ‘rabbits caught in the headlights' and will freeze in the face of an aggressive and intimidating attack. It will be interesting to see if they are proven right. Dale Steyn is in fact 11/10 with Stan James to be top South African bowler. Captain, Graeme Smith and Jacques Kallis can be backed at 11/4 to finish as the series top batsman. Inevitably, Kevin Pietersen is best priced 5/2 to be England's. This bet might be best avoided as it is already known that Pietersen will be the main target for the South Africans to go after. KP could well be in for an uncomfortable time during the series! Ian Bell at 8/1 with Ladbrokes looks a much better value bet. Odds for the First test are 6/4 South Africa, 11/4 England, 11/8 draw.
