 Cricket betting is frequently a hard skill to master and this is specially true when studying the 2010 Ashes betting odds. Despite a fruitful year for the England cricket team where they have enjoyed successful test series against Bangladesh and Pakistan, in addition to triumph in the ultimate of the World 20/20 championship against their forthcoming opponents, Australia remain the clear favourites to regain the Ashes on home cricket betting tips

The 2010 Ashes odds take into account the fact that Australia are very good on home soil, having not lost a series in Australia since the 1986/87 series. There's also the factor that just over 2 years back, England were soundly thrashed 5-0 within the last series to be hosted by the Australians.

An option to betting on the whole series could possibly be to go through the individual tests themselves. England is going to be looking to focus on the ultimate test in Sydney on 3rd January 2011 as one that they think they can win (if they still have a potential for winning or drawing the series). The pitch at Sydney traditionally favours spin bowling because it is renowned for obtaining the ball to start the pitch. With England's number 1 spin bowler Graeme Swann in the form of his life, this would be the test he is going to be looking to cause the Australians some serious problems.

The Australians on another hand is going to be looking to get off to a fast start in the first test at Brisbane on 25th November while they turn to regain the Ashes at the first attempt. It's certain to be always a hard fought game, with both teams looking to gain the initiative in the series.

The 2010 Ashes odds for top run scorer throughout the series also provide some food for thought. The likely contenders turn to be Australia's traditionally strong batsmen such as captain Ricky Ponting but also test opener Simon Katich, who has come into the right form and rarely gives away his wicket. On England's side, Andrew Strauss looks to be the main man in form and a leader by example on the field, however if Kevin Pietersen can regain some form he could score consistently well in Australia.

There are sure to be many twists and turns between now and the ultimate test on January 3rd which makes this year's Ashes series one of the cricket betting tips most intriguing yet. Join the excitement Ashes Cricket betting 2010.
