Despite being unable to regain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy yesterday, Australia has opened $1.25 favourites at TAB to retain the Ashes next summer.
Australia reclaimed the Ashes in the 2017/2018 home series when they defeated England four-nil in five Tests with the lone draw occurring at the Melbourne Cricket Ground when Alastair Cook scored an unbeaten 244 in the first innings.
In the 2019 Ashes, Australia retained the urn as the five-Test series finished two-all after England – unable to regain the Ashes after the Fourth Test – won the Fifth Test at The Oval by 135 runs.
England are $4 at TAB to regain the Ashes as they aim to win their first series in Australia since 2010/2011, which was the first time since the summer of 1986/1987 that England won a series on Australian soil.
In fact, England has failed to win a Test in Australia in 10 attempts since thrashing the hosts by an innings and 83 runs in the 2011 New Year’s Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Australia are $1.45 to win next summer’s Ashes series outright with a drawn series at $7.50.
