In another mixed-bag performance the England cricket team began by performing well with the bat and then being slightly butter-fingered with the ball, but you can always bet on Cricket to be unpredictable and by the fifth day the draw that had looked so certain, began to look in doubt.

South African captain Hashim Amla stepped down from the post following his side’s draw against England in the second test in Cape Town citing a need to “work on my own game” and will be replaced by Ab de Villiers for the second half of the tourist’s four test series.

Amla had scored a double century off 461 balls to answer the stunning 200 Ben Stokes had clocked up in just 163 balls to put England in quite a commanding position, but as anyone who likes to bet on Cricket will tell you, it was always a batsman’s wicket and the South African captain put in a superb performance of steady batting to keep the Proteas in it.

England had made heavy weather of the fielding in the first innings dropping seven catches, and in the second suffered the sort of top-order collapse with the bat that is sadly all too familiar to those of us that like to take advantage of UK gambling laws to bet on cricket at Bet365. A little rattled it was left to others steer the ship safely home.

Third Test In Cape Town
• South Africa 11/8
England 7/4
• Draw 11/4

In the end it fell to Jonny Bairstow and Moeen Ali to share an innings stand of just 43 to save England from being hideously embarrassed, and retain it’s one-nil lead in the series that now moves on to Johannesburg where you can get a rather tasty 11/8 on the home side taking the win, a naturally even 7/4 on England grabbing a series winning victory, and 11/4 on the side drawing again.

The questions you have to ask yourself if you’re going to bet on Cricket in the third test are; Will the wicket in Jo’burg be as forgiving as the one in Cape Town? Will England drop as many catches or more? And, are there going to be even more double centuries to delight the crowds? Guess we’ll all find out on January 14th, right?
