Stuart Broad is an attractive 9/4 shot with bet365.com to be the top England bowler in the fourth Test in Centurion.
Broad became the No.1 ranked Test bowler in the world after his superlative 6 for 17 in South Africa's second innings gave England a three-day win at The Wanderers.
And with James Anderson looking out of sorts throughout the series, and Steven Finn, likely to miss the Test with a side strain their odds of 3/1 at time of writing have little appeal.
With little sign of help for spin bowling in recent Centurion Tests, and any replacement for Broad short of match practice, it is hard to hold out too much hoipe that Moeen Ali will have much of an influence so the biggest challenge to Broad could come from the indefatigable Ben Stokes at 9/2.
But it is Broad, who was in such irrepressible form in Johannesburg, who looks strikingly good value.
