Bangladesh host England in the first of two test matches this Friday, 12th March in Chittagong, knowing that they have yet to beat England in any form of the game and their chances of doing so in this test match are very slim.

-01-10 - England South Africa Final Test Cricket Betting

We would like to draw your attention back just twelve months ago when English cricket was once again in a state of flux. Kevin Pietersen had a decent start in his captaincy and tried to instill his winning spirit into the squad, but his personality did not bring everyone with him and the result was the famous Pietersen Moores conflict which led to both of them resigning from their positions.

Three wickets in the final session of day four of the 3rd Test in Cape Town have left England a mountain to climb and South Africa nailed on to win with the bookmakers.
