Can Australia Get England Revenege in ODI Series?

England‘s past two weeks in Australia will feel like a couple of aeons if they lose again in Sydney on Sunday to go 3-0 down in this seven-match one-day series. Latest Cricket Betting.

Can England turn round the ODI series?

A scoreline of 6-1 would feel more appropriate at the Rod Laver Arena but already some here are predicting that may be the cricket score too by the time this tour ends in Perth on 6 February (6-1 was the margin of England’s defeat by Australia in the anticlimactic ODI series in 2009, again after they had won the Ashes). Read more in the Guardian.

A late run of cash for England to win the 2nd ODI, saved Hills from a terrible 2nd ODI and Hills make Australia their 8/11 favourites to win the 3rd ODI with 11/10. Hills are 14/1 that Australia win the series 7-0 and believe that Michael Clarke has cemented his position as the next Test Captain making him 1/3 that he replaces Ricky Ponting.

“The main focus was the Ashes and England seem to have lost some of their focus. It would not be that surprising if England get whitewashed,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

The Battle For the Ashes, Can England Retain The #Ashes?

Andrew Strauss has spent the past few weeks coolly ignoring Australian insults designed to unnerve England before they embark on their flight to Perth on Friday. Can England win the Ashes down-under?

The Ashes 2010: Andrew Strauss puts England team on a 'war' footing

Despite the time differences William Hill are predicting a massive £15 million will be gambled industry wide on the Ashes 2010/11. Hills are planning on having thirty plus in play markets throughout the tests, compared to eight last time round. Australia are the slight favourites at 8/11 with England offered at 2/1. Despite his woeful form, Kevin Pietersen is 1/20 to start the first test and 4/1 to be the first England player to score a hundred.

“If the Ashes was being played at home, England would be strong favourites and we fully expect a patriotic punt on Strauss’s men in the coming weeks,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

Can England Prevent One Day Humiliation (Cricket)

After two failed run chases in the first two ODI’s England need to step up to the plate and make sure they’re still in the series by the end of Wednesday. William Hill Sports team preview todays game.

In both games so far Australia have given England extremely modest and below par totals to get but England’s batsmen have really struggled to get going, throwing away great positions to win and only Paul Collingwood (6/1 to top score for England) has managed to get a score of over 50.

The disappointing thing for England is that it’s not even brilliant bowling that has been their downfall – it’s poorly timed shots or little nudges through to Tim Paine behind the stumps that have seen the Three Lions lose their wickets.

A couple of positives for England though have been the return to form of Ravi Bopara (4/1 to finish top England run scorer) and the stroke making of Luke Wright (6/1 top bat). I would include Adil Rashid’s fine showing in the first ODI but he was then dumped straight after!

Bopara to be fair had a shocker in The Ashes and was rightly dropped for the final Test, but credit where credit’s due, he went back to Essex, got his head down and scored some runs, he looks like he’s regained some much needed confidence and can count himself unlucky to not have a half century to his name so far this series.

Wright has flattered to deceive on a few occasions for England but I think now he’s starting to look at home a little further down the order, if he can just get his timing right a big score is surely just round the corner and once he does that he could be up there with Kevin Pietersen as one of England’s real dangermen.



If these two can keep up their form and Andrew Strauss (10/3 to top score for England) can extend his excellent batting performances then England should be able to get the better of Australia this time.

England will however be without two players for this match, Joe Denly is struggling with a knee problem while Stuart Broad has a neck strain and is to be rested for this game.

The hosts are 11/8 shots to win the match (9/2 to win the series), while Australia are 8/15 for the match and huge odds-on shots at 1/8 to win the series outright.

Callum Ferguson has been the man for Australia so far with the bat, top scoring in both one-dayers – he’s a 5/1 chance to make it a hat-trick. Cameron White has also played well, scoring a 53 and a 42 and could be there or there about’s again – the number 3 is 9/2 to top score for Australia in this game.

Aussies Unhappy- Media Gets At Their Team

England Won the Ashes on Sunday 23rd August 2009…

The Ashes are England’s and the Aussies don’t like it, not one bit. They are having a right go at their team and the media is full of experts giving their views. Here is a sample, from Telegraph TV with Tony Greg giving his insight!

They are the first to crow when they win, so we can take pleasure is watching this with a smile on our faces!

Sacking Australia’s captain Ricky Ponting would be “completely unfair” as a reaction to losing the Ashes to England, Cricket Australia chief James Sutherland has said. He is right, how is it his fault? I suspect the selectors were the ones who thought a spinner wasn’t needed. Then again I don’t really care! We won the Ashes and it is BRILLIANT!

It was tense but England bowled out Australia to win the Ashes at The Oval!  Andrew Flintoff made the crucial breakthrough as England regained the Ashes on an emotional day at the Oval.

What a great summer…Andrew Strauss man of the series for England.

Andrew Strauss now joins Michael Vaughan as an England Ashes winning captain while Ricky Ponting’s glorious career will always have one big black mark. Today he became the first Australian captain since Billy Murdoch more than a century ago to lose two Ashes series in England.

His fate was sealed when Graeme Swann took his fourth wicket of the day dismissing Hussey when he flicked a catch to short leg.

Well done Andrew Strauss

England On The Verge of Ashes Win

England have set Australia a total that requires a world record fourth innings for them to stop England winning the Ashes. With two full days left, the Ashes must surely be coming back, as they did in 2005 to England.

Trott- 100 on debut

Trott- 100 on debut

England lost three quick wickets last night, but Strauss and Trott came out and batted well setting up a big England lead. Jonathan Trott scored 41 in the first innings and made his maiden test 100 on debut. A fantastic knock. The lead is well over 500 and with two days to go England are firm favourites to win the test match and with it the Ashes, 2-1.

England declared on 373-9 leaving a target of 546 for Australia to get, With two full days left England are firm favourites to win, but a great two days of cricket is in store and there is no way the Australian team will lie down.

The stage is set for drama at the Oval.
