Ashes Betting

Not surprisingly Kevin Pietersen and Ricky Ponting top the run scorer betting for both their respective teams. Pietersen has been passed fit to start but it is well known he is carrying an injury in his heel that must restrict his batting in some way. England’s top run scorer at Cardiff, Paul Collingwood is 15/2. Ponting returned to form in Cardiff and top scored with 150 after a moderate run by his standards over the last 12 months and is 7/2 to repeat that here.
