The waiting is finally over and bet365 are firmly in the Australian camp when it comes to who they want to win the Ashes series.

bet365 spokesman Steve Freeth “It’s unpatriotic but the lack of money for Ponting’s men means that we’re shouting for the Aussies!

“It’s been one-way traffic on the series betting front and we’ve already got England for just under a £1m before a ball is bowled.

“We’ve got the draw in the 1st Test at the Gabba for the crown jewels as our traders are adamant it won’t go the distance, so victory for the friendless Australians in Brisbane would help on both fronts.”
