If Andrew Strauss' prediction comes true, then his England team should be peaking by the time they next defend the urn, meaning Australia will have to improve to be competitive.
Bet365 have England at 8/11 favourites. A drawn series is 4/1 and Australia are a rather short looking 9/4.
A more realistic price on Australia is the 7/2 available at William Hill. They also have England as favourites at 8/15 and a drawn series is 4/1.
