The latest Australia Ashes betting market to have opened in the run up to next summers series is all about their captain. Ricky has been having a tough time of it of late following their two nil drubbing by the Indians and this has led online bookmaker to offer up odds on his chances of making it to the UK as captain. In the last game the Aussie skipper was accused of failing to put victory ahead of the threat of a one-match ban by bowling second rate bowlers in the Fourth Test defeat to prevent a slow over rate.

In the betting Ponting remains just 1/6 with Paddy Power to captain Australia for the First Ashes Test in Cardiff next summer, the fact a book has been opened at all suggests all is not well. Long-time captain in-waiting Michael Clarke is 9/2 second favourite with the man known as ‘Mr Cricket' Michael Hussey at 16/1. Shane Warne, whose captaincy skills are almost as renowned as his love of pizza, is 100/1 for a sensational comeback to lead the Baggy Greens.
Darren Haines, spokesman for Paddy Power, said: “A legendary batsman undoubtedly, but Ponting's captaincy has crumbled more than once under pressure as we saw in India this week and The Ashes in 2005. It's very easy to captain a winning team but Ponting's captaincy fails to make a difference when it really matters – and the first few punts have now come in against Punter.”
