England v South Africa Second Test Odds

The England v South Africa second test odds in this England South Africa betting second test match see the tourists as favourites. The match which will take place at Headingley should produce a result and catapult the series into a more exciting affair. The last eight test matches played at Headingley has produced a result with six of those wins coming from the team who had won the toss. Cricket backers should note this and look to make their bets as soon as the toss has taken place.

It is sad that cricket test matches are so often dictated by the toss of a coin, but the outcome is a valuable tool for cricket backers. The eight recent tests referred to produced a 75% bias to the toss winning Captain. Lets hope then that England Michael Vaughan can return to winning ways as far as the coin is concerned. He should also be looking to score a few runs this week. His form with the bat has been poor and there were many at Lords last weekend calling for him to be dropped. His form in the last test series in England against the Proteus saw him score a magnificent century in the first test but he failed repeatedly from then on, just like he did at Lords last week.

This second test should see the welcome return of talisman, Andrew Flintoff, who if nothing else will add fire to pace attack and will cause the tourists to think a little more when at the crease. We like the look of his odds to be England's top bowler at 9/4. Vaughan's odds to be Englands top batsman in the first innings are 5/1. They may be worth taking as this is home ground and the perfect place for him to record a big score.
