After failing at the World Cup, and now failing to beat the West Indies in a Test Series, England are set to turn to an Aussie to try and beat the Aussies in the upcoming Ashes.
Jason Gillespie has been priced at $1.57 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au to replace Peter Moores and become the next permanent England coach.
Dizzy looks like having his work cut out for him in the Ashes though, with the Australians firming from $1.57 into $1.50 to win the series overnight without picking up a bat or ball. England’s loss has seen them drift from $3.40 out to $3.60.
“The way England are playing, they’d be better served signing up Jason Gillespie as captain-coach. Even in 2015 he’d slot into their brittle top 6 and open the bowling,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Christian Jantzen.
