England 1/6 For Ashes Success And 13/2 For Six Figure Whitewash
England won a nerve-wracking first test and William Hill are offering 1/6 that England win the series and 13/2 that they do so by winning 5-0.
"Given recent history, we should have expected a close opener and we would have liked an Aussie victory to be honest if just to eliminate the potential six figure payout for a 5-0 England victory," said William Hill spokesman Joe Crilly.
England are 1/20 to retain the Ashes and 5/6 to win the next test.
Steven Finn suffered a torrid time during the test and he is 4/6 to be dropped for the second test (11/10 to play).
