Bangladesh showed India that they mean business in the first Test last week and though India are the better side, they are short on confidence, which probably explains why they are not shorter than 4/11 (1.36) for victory in the second Test, which begins

New Zealand succeeded where England, West Indies, India and Pakistan all failed, in showing enough professionalism and consistency to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup. But with an in-form Sri Lanka side to play on Tuesday, and having already lost to
