England has been heavily backed to win the Ashes series over Australia after a nail-biting win in the first test.
“The punters were already on the Poms but we have had another wave of support for England this morning, they are now into $1.22 to win the series with Australia easing from $4.50 out to $8.50,” Centrebet’s Michael Felgate said.
“Australia looked unlucky to lose the first test but it would be a huge effort to come from behind and win the series on English soil.”
England will start clear favourites in the second test at Lord’s starting Thursday at $1.93 with Australia $3.80 and the draw $3.40.
“The Aussies only just failed at Trent Bridge so $3.80 could be value especially if Warner returns. We expect there will be strong support for Australia at the odds,” Felgate said.
