The English duly finished off the Bangladeshis at Lords and even though they fought hard they where no match for the home team. We can expect the difference in the teams to be bigger this week with the return of Ryan Sidebottom a better bowler than Bresnan and any rust or hangovers from the 20/20 World Cup all polished up. Jimmy Anderson should also be back in the groove after a good bowl at Lords. This means the value in the outright market is nonexistent and we are looking for the top batsman or bowlers for each team. Finn's performance was great at Lords but I would not expect a repeat performance away his home ground and Anderson or Sidebottom should be looked at. Of the two Anderson it the better bowler and will trouble the batsmen more. Stan James are offering 9/4 Anderson top 1st Innings bowler and we should all tuck in and build up our betting bank for the upcoming Pakistan test series.
