The firm have also priced up at which venue he will surpass Botham's tally. Sehwag recently hit 6 sixes in one innings at Multan and you wouldn't want to offer a big price on Flintoff doing it in the first Test.

Kaneria to get Giles in a spin
bet365 make Essex spinner Danish Kaneria favourite over Ashley Giles to take more wickets in the forthcoming Test series in Pakistan. Kaneria was hyped as the secret weapon, with minimal success, when England last toured Pakistan, but he's matured into a top legspinner over the last couple of years.

Bell facing Collingwood challenge
bet365 make Ian Bell 4/7 to start the first Test in Pakistan after a disappointing Ashes series with the bat for England. Bell is still likely to get the nod to start in Multan, but he'll need some early runs on the board to keep his place in the side.

The England selectors will be loathed to change a winning side, but Collingwood will be a more than worthy replacement should he get called up at Bell's expense.
Who Will Start The First Test?
Ian Bell - 4/7
Paul Collingwood - 5/4
