(expired)Ashes 2009 Betting Preview

Battle recommences this summer for one of sport’s biggest rivalries with England 9/4 outsiders to wrestle back the urn from 8/13 favourites Australia in what looks set to be the biggest cricket series ever for betting.

England are 9/1 for a repeat of their famous 2-1 victory in 2005 but, as the Aussies are quick to remind everyone, there’s been another series since then and Ricky Ponting’s team are 16/1 to repeat their 5-0 whitewash in the 2006/07 series.

Speaking of the Australian skipper, Paddy Power are betting on which England’s bowler will concede Ponting’s 11,175 Test run. The landmark figure, sure to come during the series, would make Ponting Australia’s all-time leading runscorer, putting him third on the list behind only Tendulkar and Lara.

On the Australian theme, Paddy Power’s specials include betting on Warnie’s Words. The spin legend and true blue Aussie will be sure to ruffle some feathers when he joins the Sky commentary team for the summer and the bookie is betting on which phrase Warnie uses first. Phrases include “G’day mate” at 6/1, “strewth” at 12/1 and “Advanced Hair Studios” at 66/1. “C’mon England” is an unlikely 25/1.

On England’s side there is betting on the number of Tests Freddie Flintoff plays in, how many tons KP scores and how many times Aussie spinner Michael Clarke takes KP’s prized wicket with “left arm filth”

As well as the regular correct score and top runscorer/wicket taker betting Paddy Power’s Money-Back Special on the Ashes will refund all losing outright bets on the Series if there are no drawn matches.
