Best New Betting Sites for the Ashes 2021/22

While the T20 format of the game may have taken away some of the focus from Test match cricket, there is still plenty of room for fans to enjoy these games. When we are talking about Test cricket, there is nothing bigger than The Ashes between England and Australia, with the latest renewal this winter taking place in Australia.

When Will the Ashes Take Place?

The Ashes will take place across December and January, with the first Test beginning on December 8 and the fifth and final Test getting underway on January 14. The third Test of the series will be the traditional Boxing Day Test match and will be played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Who are Current Favourites?

Australia are strong favourites to win The Ashes series with the bookmakers and Spreadex have Australia priced up as 1/3 favourites to win the series. If you fancy a drawn series, or if you think England can win over in Australia, both of those series outcomes are priced up at 9/2.

A combination of being the better team, having a more settled line up and home conditions all give the Aussies the upper hand before a ball is bowled. Of course, that could change as games are played and big moments happen, but on paper at least, Australia look well worthy of their favourites tag.

Can England Win the Ashes?

For England to win The Ashes they are going to need some big performances. With the ball, England have an ageing attack featuring Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad and they will both need to be as good as they have ever been in Australia if England want to win. Ben Stokes can make his presence felt with both the bat and ball but comes into the series on the back of some time away from cricket, so will need to really hit the ground running.

Joe Root has played magnificently away from home in both Sri Lanka and India over the past couple of years. Australia brings a completely different type of challenge for the captain, but he needs to bring the same level of form and lead the batting line up, as well as being a vocal leader as captain.

If all of that happens, then England would have a chance to win the series, but there is a lot that needs to come together.
