England vs West Indies 4th Test
Live betting Aug 19 10.30 BST (C4)
The series may well be dead and buried but Thursday's Test
at the Oval should still have some life to it judging on the
events at Old Trafford. Brian Lara's team were much more competitive
there and could be in with a shout now that they are playing
more like a West Indies side, and up against an England side
who could be excused for taking their foot off the gas. What's
more, England will be without Graham Thorpe with a fractured
right little finger, and they are undoubtedly a weaker side
without him. However, England's price has drifted out to 5/6
over the last couple of days from an opening 4/6 and that
is enough to warrant a bet on the home side. Thorpe's replacement
Ian Bell has been in prolific form for his county Warwickshire,
and with Thorpe probably nearing the end of his career this
is a great opportunity for Bell to show his class. On the
best batting wicket in the country he should be able to score
a few runs, along with Robert Key who looks good value at
5/1 in our 'Top Batsman' market. The Kent player was instrumental
in England's 3rd Test victory with a superb 93 not out on
Monday, and his Test match experience just gives him the edge
over Bell in that market.
