Australia will go two-nil up in the series with Marnus Labuschagne amongst the runs and Pat Cummins the wickets in the second Ashes Test in Adelaide, according to TAB punters.
For the second Test in a row, Labuschagne (50%) is proving more popular than Steve Smith (20%) in TAB’s First Innings High Bat market, while Cummins (70%) is predictably the best supported bowler in the Aussie line-up with Josh Hazlewood out.
Punters still expect big things from Joe Root and Ben Stokes for England, but the money is clearly running in the hosts favour with Australia claiming over half of the Result market at $1.55.
TAB has cut Australia’s odds of a series whitewash from $6.50 in to $4.50 after victory at the Gabba with the Aussies now $1.10 to claim the Ashes and England out to $11.
