Australia vs England Prediction: 3rd Ashes Test Odds & Tips Incl. 6/4…

England will be fighting to keep their Ashes hopes alive in Adelaide , and the expectation is that lessons have been learned from defeats in Perth and Brisbane . On both occasions, the tourists showed glimpses of promise that suggested they could be competitive in this series, only to ultimately pay the price for losing their cool at key moments.

Head coach Brendon McCullum accepts England have been left reeling on the ropes but insisted his side must come out fighting in round three. He declared, “You can’t afford to flinch when you come down here. This is not a country to start doubting yourself or to walk away from the challenge.”

Brook Backed To Show True Worth

Those who feared the spectre of ‘ Bazball ’ would come back to bite England in this toughest of places to visit have been proved correct up to this point. Too many wickets have been thrown away with reckless shots against a bowling attack led by the magnificent Mitchell Starc – and which may now be boosted by the return of captain Pat Cummins.

Harry Brook admits he has been guilty of “shocking” errors since arriving in Australia , but we’re taking some encouragement from this week’s self-assessment of “I need to rein it in a little bit". The 26-year-old has scored just 98 runs in four innings and has been guilty of gifting his wicket with some poorly judged attacking strokes.

However, the Yorkshire ace started the trip as the number two batter in the ICC world rankings, and you don’t lose that quality overnight. With a more disciplined approach in Adelaide , a BOYLE Sports price boost of 9/4 for Brook to hit a half-century in the first innings appeals from the Australia vs England Third Test odds.

Stick With Red-Hot Starc

Pitch curator Damian Hough has promised a surface that will offer turn, with Australia bringing first-choice spinner Nathan Lyon back into the XI. England’s Shoaib Bashir has again been omitted, though, leaving Surrey all-rounder Will Jacks to fill that role for the tourists.

Their sole change sees Josh Tongue replacing the out-of-sorts Gus Atkinson , but whether or not this clash lasts long enough for spin to come into play, it will surely be all about the two pace attacks early on. Starc has done us a couple of favours in both quickfire Tests to date after being tipped to be Australia’s leading wicket taker in the first innings on each occasion, taking seven scalps in Perth and six in Brisbane .

He claimed four wickets for 37 first up when England last visited this venue in 2021 and also shone against India here 12 months ago, posting superb figures of six for 48 on day one. Despite the proposed Cummins comeback, it is hard to argue with Starc being 2/1 favourite for this market again, so let’s play up those winnings to finish off our Third Ashes Test betting tips.
