5/1 for Ashes series draw

England's World Cup debacle will result in much soul-searching but they can quickly get back on the horse with a Test trip to the West Indies. It can be a precursor to a successful Test summer but Australia will be a very stiff assignment and 5/1 on an Ashes draw looks a value bet.

After their whitewash down under and calamatous defeat to Sri Lanka at home last year, England recovered well to run out comfortable winners against India and regain their dominance with the red ball but things will get tougher against Australia.

The Aussies are an aging side and doubts still remain about their batting line up but with the ball they are exceptionally dangerous and if fit, will be difficult to overcome. England should be able to compete but perhaps neither side will be able to edge the series so take a chance on 5/1 for a draw.
