With the 2013-14 Ashes series set to start just a little over two weeks from now, there's no better time to join cricket online betting than right now. Online betting in Australia which has had a bit of a downtime as major sports leagues recently completed their season has come alive with the once again as the Ashes series approaches. Checking the latest odds for the series, the visiting England team is still favored by many to win. It's really no surprise considering how they outperformed Australia during the last series. Now, here's another news about the English team from Sportal.com: England Happy with Ashes Preparations Bell, who starred in the recent series in England, made a bright start to his Australian tour hitting 115 against a WACA Chairman's XI in Perth last week. He is hopeful his game is peaking at the right time and welcomed the challenge of fighting for every run in bowler-friendly conditions starting on Wednesday. "Obviously we'll see how it plays and obviously last time we were here we got a good four days out of it and I was lucky enough to spend some time in the middle as well, so I know there's some runs to be had out there and that's a good challenge," Bell said on Monday. "You don't want to just play on flat wickets all the time, you need to put yourself under a bit of pressure and hopefully we'll be able to do that over this four days which will get us in a good place for Brisbane." Asked if England's preparation will prove superior to Australia's, with most of Michael Clarke's men to play two Sheffield Shield games before the series opener, Bell replied: "I suppose so. I mean I'm not too worried about what Australia are doing, it's just making the most of what we're doing really." "To have the first week at the WACA I think is the best place to practice in terms of extreme bounce and then to come here potentially with more bowler-friendly conditions is a good place, it puts us under a bit of pressure which is where we want to be as a team. "You don't want to go to Brisbane having no pressure cricket, so for us it's an exciting opportunity if we lose the toss and we're in batting and we have to fight to get as many runs as we can."
