Ashes Betting
The Ashes is a Test series that has been contested between England and Australia for well over a century and is cricket’s most celebrated rivalry. It is contested between the two nations on a biennial basis with the venue alternating between the two nations. Given the contrasting seasons in the two countries periods between Ashes contests alternate between 18 and 30 months. The Ashes is traditionally contested over a five Test match series and if the series is drawn then the country that already holds the Ashes will retain them.
Ashes Betting is undoubtedly the most popular cricket betting event of the calendar in both Australia and England. Ashes Betting markets are available on a wide variety of weird and wonderful scenarios and outcomes. From traditional Ashes Betting on which captain will lift the little urn at the end of the series to who will win each individual Test, who will be the top England batsman of the series, top Australian Batsman and a abundance of player specials.

G is for Googly. Quite complex so listen up. A ball delivered by what's commonly known as a leg-spinner to the batsmen's 'off to leg stump' position. I.e, virtually impossible to do anything with.
H is for Helmet. What batsmen wear to ensure their face stays in tact from fierce deliveries. Usually at the hands of Australian bowlers.
I is for ICC. The International Cricket Council. The guardians and trustees of the international game. They do most of the organising, implementing and infrastructure provisions for major cricket tournaments around the globe.
J is for Jump up and down. It's what a fielder might need to do to catch a skyward ball.
K is for KP. otherwise referred to by his birth name of Kevin Pietersen. Great British batsman who will take the fight to the Aussies. Can be slightly controversial.
L is for LBW. Leg before wicket. A no-no in cricket parlance. A batsmen cant put his legs directly in front of the wicket to hide them. Otherwise will get his marching orders.
M is for Maiden. Affording the batsman a single run off his strike, a maiden is a single over bowled by a red-faced bowler.
N is for Npower. The main sponsors of the 2009 Ashes Test Series here in England. And Wales. Hoardings everywhere, plus some strategic TV ads more than likely.
O is for Online Betting. What we can do for you. Well, not us directly. But we no a man who can. Many men in fact. Like Ladbrokes, Paddy Power, Blue Square, William Hill, Victor Chandler, Betfred, etc.
P is for Pads. Protective clobber designed to be attached with straps to the leg regions. Stops batsmen receiving broken bones.
Q is for. Q. you're joking right?
R is for Runs. The number of times the two batsmen swap wickets. You know. Run between one point and the other. Hit a six or a boundary and it gives you more time. Useful tip for England there.
S is for Streaker. Always a welcome sight emerging from the Pavilion End. A naked person from the crowd – usually, and thankfully, a woman – making a dash across the playing surface. Predominately as a result of a bet with her friends. Can break up the cricketing tedium.
T is for Test match. What the Ashes is. 90 overs bowled every day for five consecutive days running to establish which team is better than the other.
U is for Umpire. Two of them, one found by each wicket. Well, the stumps that the bowlers are making their pacey approach toward. They adjudge what's right or wrong. Their decision is none negotiable. Sometimes collect hats.
V is for Veteran. Long serving cricket player. Arguably past his sell by date but still wheeled out to add experience to a youthful line-up.
W is for Wicket keeper. Important role. The fielder who catches the ball and gets a rubbish batsmen out should they let their guard down.
X, Y and Z. listen, we've done our level best. Go and look at the Wisdens if you feel short changed.
