Cricket Betting - Flower: England Are Confident

The England cricket team are confident ahead of their match against South Africa at Senwes Park on Friday, according to Andy Flower.

England's coach explains that the cricket team has high hopes for the one-day international (ODI) campaign kicking off this week.

His comments come despite some "niggles" picked up over the summer in the form of injuries.

But after drawing the two-match Twenty20 series against South Africa recently, Flower suggests that the prospects are good for the ODI line-up.

"Our preparation in Bloemfontein was excellent," the England coach says.

"They were great hosts, the facilities were good, so that preparation went as well as we could have hoped."

Despite Flower's optimism, South Africa are the favourites to take the first ODI this Friday, at odds of 4/9 at Stan James(Go to Stan James »).

England, meanwhile, can be found at odds of 11/5 at Bet365(Go to Bet365 »), with many bookmakers lengthening their prices in recent days.
