England are not the favourites they were a few months back with the bookies and it is not without some reason following their somewhat uncertain start to the series against New Zealand. Following England's less than impressive start to the 1st Test against New Zealand, however, we are still favouring a home win this summer. England have shown some weakness in their batting line-up without Kevin Pietersen, however, their bowling attack is in much better shape with Broad Anderson and Finn all looking at the top of their game.
After cruising to victory against New Zealand, William Hill make England 8/1 to go unbeaten in Test match cricket for the remainder of this calendar year. Going into the second test at Headingley, England are 4/7 to win, while New Zealand are 8/1 with the draw 2/1.

Chris Gayle's 175 not out in the IPL is possibly the greatest ever T20 innings there is ever likely to be. 175 from 66 balls with 17 sixes and, had he not by his own admission "slowed down" in the middle of his innings, it could have been 200! The West Indies has given the cricket world batsmen like Gary Sobers, Brian Lara, Viv Richards and now Chris Gayle joins the greats of West Indian cricket.
Following his astonishing feat of scoring 100 in just 30 balls, William Hill are offering cricket odds of 25/1 that any professional cricketer manages a faster 100 this year. "Chris Gayle was simply stunning and it will be some feat if anyone manages to beat the 30 ball hundred this year,” said William Hill cricket betting spokesman Rupert Adams.
