Ashes Betting 2010

A little history lesson here, just for those of you who may not be offay with The Ashes. Back in 1882 the English and the Aussies decided to do battle on the cricket pitch and fight for what can only be described as of the most teeny weeny trophies of any sport. They play Test cricket in what is one of the sport’s most celebrated rivalries and alternate the venue between the United Kingdom and Australia.

Cricket being a summer sport, and the venues being in opposite hemispheres, the break between series alternates between 18 and 30 months, obviously depending on when the Summer of the hosting country. A series comprises five Test matches, two innings per match, under the regular rules for Test match cricket. If a series is drawn then the country already holding the Ashes retains them.

So now that that’s out of the way let’s crack on with The Ashes 2010. It’s in Australia and starts on Thursday, November 25th. This being Cricket of course, the series will continue until the fifth and final match on January 2nd 2011 when they meet each other in Sydney.

Bookies have Australia as favourites which means you can still get a reasonably good price on England to win so get in there early as odds will dramatically change as each game goes on…
