Before we get stuck into this particular match, I think it’s worth a recap as to where we are right now, following the series opener, from a betting perspective.In the first Test we drew positive returns from a 3pt win on Australia at 8/11; a 1pt win on Mitchell Starc at 9/4 to be the top Australia bowler; plus a 1pt win on Travis Head to be the top Australia batter at 9/2. The selections were profitable. I have to admit that I was shocked when Travis Head, who scored the only 100 of the contest, was not selected as the player of match. I thought we were cheated because Starc, who bowled brilliantly, was the winner. The Aussies’ win also put them on the right track to winning the Ashes (8/13 advised). It wasn’t a bad start either for our 0.5pts win bet on Ben Stokes to be England’s top bowler for the series. Harry Brook didn’t top score for England but he did get a half century and that will also help as the series unfolds, having tipped him to be England’s leading batter. There are no premature celebrations here, just a look at where we’re at.Ashes 2025 Australia vs England 2nd Test: Baggy Greens to extend their leadAnd so, on to Brisbane.

They play better when there is a goal to prove. They were removed without ceremony ‘bagged’ by some of my media colleagues and fans alike after that day two capitulation in Perth and so often, when you poke that stick in the hornets’ nest, the return sting can feel very painful.Expect…
