iBet: Go for England to retain the Ashes

Cricket: The Ashes (Sat 25th Dec, 10.30pm, Sky Sports 1)

Back England to retain the Ashes at 1.6 with Betfair

Some 90,000 fans are expected to pack into the MCG in Melbourne for the fourth test in this intriguing Ashes series, and the result is hard to call. England are in my opinion the better team, but Australia wrenched back the momentum with their 267-run win at the WACA. There have been calls for England to field an extra bowler, but I cant see Andy Flower changing whats been a winning formula over the last two years. Word is that that Australia plan to prepare green wickets for the final two Tests to negate Englands only true world class bowler in Graeme Swann.

However, England have not become a bad team overnight and the loss should just focus their minds. The odds for them to retain the Ashes are 1.6 which means if you put 10 on you will get 16 back if you are right. If the series ends in a draw, England keep the Ashes. I make that a bet.
