Will Shane Warne Make England Pay?

William Hill make between twenty-one and Thirty their 5/4 favourite with over thirty offered at 13/8. They 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.

William Hill 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.

"Shane Warne is one of the true greats and we fully expect him to harass England throughout the Ashes. He made Strauss look fairly second rate on a number of occasions last summer and the 14/1 for Strauss to be Warne's 700th victim is sure to be popular," said William Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams.
