England v India Second Test Match Betting
The second Test match of the series between England and India will be just as important as any other match. This will be the first chance for one of the teams to recover if the first match at Lords did not go according to the plan.
England v India second Test match betting will cover the cricket betting field of the match at Trent Bridge in Nottingham. England and India are two very evenly matched teams which means the value could be driven down if the first Test match is a high quality affair.
England v India Second Test Match
The fact the England v India second Test match is being held at Trent Bridge is interesting because this is a ground that traditionally offers a little something to the swing bowlers and seamers. It will also bring the spinners in to play on the final couple of days.
England have the better fast bowling attack than India. The likes of James Anderson and Stuart Broad are more than capable of getting something out of the pitch. This could also be a match which Tim Bresnan features in after injury as he, like Anderson, can swing the ball at extreme pace.
India will bring their spinners to the party in this game. Harbhajan Singh will be up for the challenge of trying to bowl England out on a pitch which is giving the ball a chance to grip and dance about the wicket. Top bowler is one of the more niche Cricket Betting markets but Singh will be a real contender.
Test Match Cricket Betting
Test match cricket betting covers a lot more markets than the majority of punters will care to think. The series betting will still have a lot of value because it's ridiculous to price one side a lot shorter than the other with one game down and three to go.
The batsmen will earn their keep in the Test match cricket betting markets for this second game. It will be a lot harder for the batsmen of each side to score runs and make centuries at this ground than any other being used for Test matches in this series.
It is also vital to remember that England v India Test Series Betting 2011 covers the entire five days of a match and the odds can change after each day of play. It is not fundamentally necessary to jump right in at the deep end and bet away like a headless chicken on the first day of the Test.
Test Match Pressure
The second match will create additional Test match pressure depending on what has happened during the match at Lords. There will be a few players under pressure throughout the series but Test match pressure has the ability to change the way that many professionals play.
England and India both have a lot of experience within their sides so the effects of Test match pressure should be reduced but they will still be noticeable. Test match pressure is one of the few things in cricket which can turn a sure fire bet into something of an unknown commodity.
