England were able to take the world by storm in the ICC World Cup of Cricket, which also happened on English soil, and many had counted them out of even reaching the semi finals at one point but they were ultimately able to put together some really good performances. 

This led to them having one of the most famous match-ups in history against upstarts New Zealand with the whole thing going down to a super over and England, even then, were only able to win because they had scored more boundaries during the match. 

With the Ashes looming as the biggest test on the calendar for either England or Australia, you can bank on both of them coming into this contest thinking that they will be able to take on virtually whatever the other side throws at them with the bookmakers seemingly giving the English team the slimmest of edges so far at this point. 

According to the betting markets, you’ll find England trading as the outright favourites here with a decent price of around ⅚ being floated by most major bookmakers while the Australians are considered to be a 6/4 shout to win the Ashes at the time of this writing.
