Ashes Series Cricket Betting Guide

The Ashes is the name given to the Cricket Betting test series between arch enemies England and Australia. The Ashes themselves are the remains of the bails that were burnt after one of the early matches between the two teams. Every second year the teams take each other on both in England and Australia.

In recent years the series has been much closer with home advantage playing a major part in who is victorious. In 2009 England won back the Ashes in a very hard fought series after they had been trounced 5-0 on their previous trip down under.

The next Ashes test will take place in Australia at the end of 2010 where England will be bidding to retain the Ashes and win for the first time in Australia since the 1986/87 series captained by Mike Gatting.

Australia had dominated the cricket world up to around 2008 but with the retirements of Shane Warne and Glen McGrath and Adam Gilchrist in such a short period of time they have been unable to replace them and are now a good side but not the great side that made them almost unbeatable.

England for their part have seen Andrew Flintoff come and go and their current side is now much more workmanlike with Andrew Strauss leading his charges into battle. He has one star performer in Kevin Pieterson to hold what can be a fragile battling line up together.

Many people will look to get involved with the series top runs scorer and wicket taker. For each match the Ashes sports betting will ebb and flow depending on who makes the best start and the conditions will determine the estimates for the innings and session runs.

As in most sporting events Ashes in running betting will be big as punters wish to lock in positions after each session and wicket to fall. Should you be considering placing a bet on the Ashes Cricket make sure you check out this site for all our Bookmakers reviews.
