With England's cricket side looking favourites to take control of the Ashes series during the summer, if they secure victory there, how much fight will the Australians have in them for the rest of the Tour? Of course, all the prominence, excitement and build up has been on the famous Ashes series, with England looking to keep their hands on that important little urn. After winning the first two of the five tests, there was something of a fight back from the Australians in the third Test, but with the tourists needing to win all three of the five tests to get the Ashes back, they remained heavy underdogs to secure a famous comeback. It will only be a short time before the end of the year when the two old rivals go head to head again for the next Ashes Series, this time on Australian turf.
However, before all of that happens, there is more to the Summer Ashes Tour than just the five main matches between England and Australia. The Test Series has taken some heavy bets on the outcome, but there will also be a T20 Series and One Day International Series between the two sides to come. So even if England wrap up the Test Series early and even if they put the Australians to the sword in the series by a heavy score line, there will be chances for the Tourists to get some kind of revenge in the other formats. Australian's Test betting line up has been heavily critiqued, but will they flourish in the T20 or ODI series against England?
It could all come down to confidence. If Australia fail to get a win on the board at all in the Test series, their morale would expectedly be low, and England's tails would be massively up. However, England, even on their own soil are such an unpredictable and, it has to be said, laborious One Day International side that the Aussies could just throw everything at and cause an upset. The Australians are trading as underdogs in each of the other series as well, because England should be happier on their own flatter tracks, where their swing bowlers can gain some huge advantages. But again, the batting plans in England's One Day International game has looked a bit flawed to say the least.
England did play Australia at the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy in the group stage and won the match convincingly by 48 runs in the end. England went on to lose the final against India at Edgbaston. There will be a five match ODI series to come, starting on the 6th of September. Before that, and naturally following on from the 5th and final Test of the Ashes series, will be the two match Twenty20 International series. The first one, on August 29th will be a day/night affair, with the second just two days later during the afternoon. Being too unpredictable to call on both sides, it does offer some value in backing a Cricket betting option available on England to Beat Australia in all three home series (Tests, T20, ODI) this year. The price on that? A hefty 7/1, and the biggest question mark may just be over those Twenty20 meetings.
