You Bet: Morgan Bats Himself Into Ashes Berth

Following yet another fantastic batting performance from boy-wonder Eoin Morgan today, William Hills have cut the price of him getting into the first Ashes team from 2/1 to Even money. Hills make him 2/1 to score 200 in this first innings. Morgan’s batting partner Paul Collingwood is 17/20 to get over 115.5 runs, also 17/20 that he does not. England are now 2/5 to win the first test now, with Pakistan 9/1 and the draw 5/2. England are 17/20 to score more than 500 runs in this first innings.

“Once again, the bookies have underestimated Morgan’s prowess with the bat and he certainly seems to have bamboozled us by bowling us a googly,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Odds:

1st Test Outright: 2/5 England; 9/1 Pakistan; 5/2 Draw
Morgan To Get In The First Ashes Squad: 8/11 No; Evs Yes
Morgan To Get 200: 2/1
Collingwood 1st Innings Runs: 17/20 Over 115.5; 17/20 Under 115.5
Total England 1st Innings Runs: 17/20 Over 500.5; 17/20 Under 500.5
