The Ashes preamble gets underway this week at the Rose Bowl when England take on Australia in the first of five One Day Internationals. This will be the first time the two sides have met since England defeated the Aussies in the final of the World Twenty/20 Cup in the West Indies. As one would expect the betting is very close, but it is the tourist who have been made narrow favourites to go one up in the series with odds of 4/5 available via Paddy Power while England are quoted at Even Money.

England v Australia 1st ODI LIVE on Sky Sports 1 from 14.30 Tuesday 22 June.

England will want to eradicate the thoughts they might have regarding the last ODI series against the Aussies. They got a serious thrashing by 6-1 and although they do not look quite as formidable as they did then, the Aussies will still be a very hard team to beat over 5 matches.

Australia have played a couple of warm up games on tour so far, which included a solid victory over Ireland. In that match a superb 80 from opener, Tim Paine assured them of the victory and he looks a very good prospect at present to top score for the visitors in this match. Favourite in this market in fact is fellow opener and all-rounder, Shane Watson with odds of 11/4, but Paine looks like a much better betting option with odds of 11/2 from paddy power

The betting for the top England batsman for the match is a very close affair, but it is Kevin Piertersen who heads the market with odds of 9/4, while captain and opener, Andrew Strauss stands alongside fellow opener, Craig Kieswetter with odds of 10/3. Next best comes Paul Collingwood and rising England star, Eoin Morgan who are both 5/1 shots.

England v Australia 1st ODI Odds Comparison.

England’s Graeme Swann, who can be described as one of England’s consistently top performers looks to be a good bet at 9/4 to be England’s top bowler in this first match available from Paddy Power.com Swann also looks a tasty gamble at around 11/4 to be the top bowler of the whole series.
