Ladbrokes Ashes Preview - Fifth Test
Matt Finnigan, Ladbrokes - 22 August 2001

Well, what a result at Headingley? A big reward for those punters who have stuck with England throughout the series, as well as those who were brave enough to bet on an England victory in this game.

The main result of these heroics is that odds on an England victory are now just 4/1 to win the final Test at the AMP Oval. Australia are 1/2, and the draw 3/1.

For the Final npower Test, Ladbrokes have rolled out a wide range of special bets. There are a couple involving names you have read about on CricInfo over the summer.

If CricInfo diarist Phil Tufnell makes the final XI, you might want to back 'The Cat' at 6/1 to take 5 wickets in an innings. Alternatively, another CricInfo columnist, Alec Stewart is 7/1 to take more than 5 catches in the match.

Ladbrokes is also offering a series of Head-to-Head bets. You can bet on Phil Tufnell (9/4) taking more wickets than Shane Warne (1/2), or on the batting side, revelation Mark Butcher (6/5) to score more runs than Ricky Ponting (8/13).

It's been an eventful Ashes series - and I hope you've been luckier than Nasser Hussain.
