England Ashes Odds Slashed As Aussies Suffer Brett Lee Injury Blow
Tuesday 07 July 2009 at 10:41
 There has been a massive gamble on England to win the first Ashes Test following the news that Brett Lee is out of the first test and probably more of the Ashes series with injury.
England Shorten Dramatically In 1st Test Odds
England are now best priced 21/10 with Bet365, Paddy Power, SkyBet and Blue Square to win the first test and they are just slightly shorter at 2/1 with William Hill, who are currently offering up to £100 in free bets to new customers who open an account with the promo code F100.
Experts Predict Further Price Drop For England
William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams had this to say about the gamble that has taken place in the last 24 hours:
Brett Lee was one of the key men in 2005 and Australia will be very disappointed that he is out. Punters are coming in for England and they could even by favourites by the start on Wednesday.
Bearing in mind that it could be evens by Wednesday the best price of 21/10 with the likes of Bet365, Paddy Power and SkyBet looks very generous.
England Could Be 2-0 Up By The Time Lee Returns
Brett Lee is definitely out of the first test and it seems it will take a miracle for him to make the second test. That could give England a massive upper hand in their attempt to win the Ashes series and they can currently be backed at 15/8 with Paddy Power, Ladbrokes and Blue Square.
Australia Ashes Odds Drift Out After Injury News
Australia are now out to 10/11 with Stan James and Sportingbet to win the Ashes and the draw has become a larger possibility at 9/2 with Bet365, Paddy Power and William Hill. For more Ashes betting odds click on any of the bookie links above.
