Aussies Cut For Ashes Victory

William Hill have cut Australia from 2/7 to 1/4 to win the Ashes following a £21,000 wager on the Aussies from a punter in the South of England.

England can now be backed at 9/2 with the drawn series offered at 13/2.

"£20,000 is the biggest bet on Australia and tells the story, England are completely friendless even at 9/2" said William Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams

Shane Warne was Australia's top wicket taker during the last Ashes series with forty wicket and William Hill have opened a book on how many wickets he will take on home soil. They make between twenty-one and Thirty their 5/4 favourite with over thirty offered at 13/8. William Hill also offer 16/1 that Warne will finally score his first Test hundred during the Ashes and 1/100 that he fails to do so. They have also created a book on who will be Warne's 700th test victim and make Steve Harmison their 8/1 favourite. England have been pushed out from 4/1 to 9/2 to win the Ashes with Australia offered at 2/7.

How Many Ashes Wickets Will Warne Take? 5/4 Twenty One To Thirty Inc, 13/8 Over Thirty, 12/5 Under Twenty One.
