As the 2025/26 Ashes series nears, predictions on who might top the bowling charts are heating up. Mitchell Starc is the favorite with an average of 24.39 against England in Australia. His counterparts, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazelwood, are yet to recover from injuries. Nathan Lyon also stands out, priced at 5.00, benefiting from England's aggressive play against spinners. With competition from Jofra Archer and Scott Boland, and other strong contenders like Ben Stokes in the mix, the battle for the top wicket-taker is shaping up to be intense.

With the first Test out of the way and Mitchell Starc securing 10 wickets already, he has laid a firm hand on the top bowler odds.

Ben Stokes is now second favourite with Pat Cummins and Josh Hazelwood both missing the first two test matches. It will take some effort for either of them to get back in the running...should they be fit for the third Test.
