England 3/1 to bring the Ashes home

England are 3/1 to win the 2005 Ashes series in the latest odds at bet365. Australia are 5/11, while a tied series is 9/2.

In the series result betting, a 2-1 victory to Australia is thought the most likely result at 11/2. 2-2 and 3-1 to Australia follow narrowly behind at 6/1. For those punters backing an England victory there is good value to be had, with a 2-1 England win at 8/1. A more comprehensive England victory is, unsurprisingly, at longer odds - a 5-0 win is 80/1, while a 4-0 or 4-1 win is 40/1.

An Australian whitewash is always a possibility however fancied the opposition, and 5-0 at 25/1 will attract a decent level of interest. 4-0 is 16/1, while 3-0 is 9/1. Given the prospect of rain in at least one of the matches, even the most fervent Australian supporter might consider the possibility of at least one match being drawn.
