A new series of Ashes cricket is finally upon us. As part of his match prediction, TSN expert Dom Farrell notes that it's the hope that kills for English fans down under.
England have won precisely none of their 15 Tests in Australia since the successful expedition for Andrew Strauss' side in 2010/11.
Whether or not you're staying up until 2:30 a.m. To watch the first ball, we've picked out the best betting offers for the first test, starting with a four to be scored in the first over - remember Zak Crawley in the first ball at Edgbaston two years ago...
