Cricket

The same combination as yesterday but hopefully a different result!

11 Monty to be top England bowler 4/1 (LOST +16.58 - one LBW decision from running through Sth Africa but it didnt come)
England's attack came under scrutiny after Headingley, but Broad and Les are gone and in comes reliable Sidey and Colly's occasional swingers - which will mean more bowling for Monty. He's the leading wicket taker so far in the series on tracks which weren't necessarily spinner friendly tracks, and bear in mind, that most of the bowling has been in the first innings. While the groundsman at Edgbaston says the pitch will suit the swing bowlers, he also expects it to crack and crumble towards the end, making Monty even more likely to take wickets. So him being 4th favourite and 4/1 seems too good to miss!
