Ashes 2015 Preview
Prepare your betting crosshairs for this summer when Australia and England will compete to retain the Ashes. By the look at the English cricket team at the moment, Australia should have an easy task, but we mustn’t underestimate the English, which are in a rebuilding phase. If the English come out as a better side in the test matches against New Zealand prior to the Ashes, we will be watching exciting Test cricket matches.
The Australian side is currently the second in the ICC Test rankings. Their bowling track is fast and Aussie fans believe that their team will be able to deliver a 5-0 series whitewash. At the moment a whitewash can be backed at 10/1. Alstair Cook and his team will be in for a hell of a summer. If you believe England can come out on top 3-2 you can back them at incredible 33/1.
The betting markets for this year’s Ashes are as diverse as they can get. There will be plenty of in-play betting opportunities as the game unfolds. At the moment the odds for Australia vary from 33/100 up to 11/25 to win the Ashes depending on the bookmaker. The Aussies are a natural firm favourite, which is why the odds are so low for them so if you want to make some money you will have to look for the other betting markets for this event or just simply back the English.
Some of the bookies seem to be confident that the English have the chance for regaining the Ashes, so depending where you get your odds at you can back the English at odds as low as 3/1. The highest odds at the moment are 7/2.
If you are looking for the individual markets, your best options would be wicket taker and highest runscorer. If you go with individual markets betting, you better take a look at the form of the players that will be playing in the series as well as their previous performance on English turf. If you want to go even deeper you can take a look at the matches that have been played during the last weeks at the stadiums scheduled for the Ashes to see if the conditions are more favourable for bowlers or batsman.
The Australian squad shows great quality through both bowling disciplines and batting. The team is able to take 20 wickets in most conditions, which is exactly what you need in order to secure a win in a Test match. Starc and Johnson are capable of throwing the ball over 90 mph and in the last Ashes Johnson tore England’s batsman to shreds.
Bayliss is aware that Johnson is the biggest threat, but Johnson has a weakness. If he is not in rhythm he loses confidence. England can take advantage of it, but the Australian’s certainly won’t rely solely on Johnson. Starc is there as well to upset the English with his ever improving form. It will be a very hot summer for England for sure.
