If you’re an Australian and willing to take a punt on any of these players and their sides, My Betting Sites Australia recommends Unibet as one of the best betting sites for cricket.

With the IPL postponed until September and the status of many foreign players participating in the tournament remaining doubtful, more eyes than usual are on county cricket this year.

This is especially true in Australia where almost 20 players from the IPL are no longer playing weekly matches.

For punters looking to bet on Aussie cricketers, the only options are to wait until the upcoming T20 series against the West Indies in July, or to turn to county cricket which is well and truly in full swing.

In total, 15 Australians made the trip to England to play various county cricket formats, and while some have failed to perform, and others have returned home with injuries, there’s certainly a handful of Aussies making a statement.

With this in mind, here are five of the best Australian county cricketers worth betting on this year.

Marcus Harris

The left-handed Victorian batsman joined Leicestershire two weeks into the County Championship season after finishing up his Sheffield Shield commitments. As one of the 11 to make Wisden’s County Championship team of May, Harris has posted particularly strong numbers in his last four first-class matches amassing 446 runs including 101 against Surrey, 148 against Gloucestershire, and 185 against Middlesex.

Cameron Bancroft

Bancroft, the batsman at the center of Australia’s 2018 ball-tampering scandal returned to Durham following a successful stint with Western Australia. Bancroft captained Durham in both the County Championship and One Day Cup in 2019, scoring 726 runs in nine Championship matches averaging 45.37 and 377 runs in the One Day Cup for an average of 94.25. While Bancroft is yet to score over 50 in his three first-class matches this season, if his last campaign is anything to go by he’ll likely be there soon.

Ben Dwarshuis

Sydney Sixers seamer Ben Dwarshuis is set to join Worcestershire Rapids for the T20 Blast competition. Dwarshuis helped lead the Sixers to back-to-back championships taking 24 wickets for an economy of 8.85 and topping the BBL10 wicket-taker standings. Dwarshuis has also recorded eight wickets in his four matches so far for the NSW Blues in the Marsh Cup and will likely play a key role for Worcestershire as a left-handed option.

Peter Siddle

After being left out of one of Essex’s matches against Derbyshire early in May, former Australia Test bowler Peter Siddle has well and truly cemented his place in the squad after coming back to take six wickets in the first innings against Warwickshire. Since then Siddle has taken 10 more wickets from four innings in his last two matches.

Marnus Labuschagne

Labuschagne seems to have found his form after recently helping his Glamorgan side to secure a victory over previously undefeated Lancashire last week. Labuschagne’s 63 not out gave Lancashire their first defeat of the season adding to his tally of 44 in the first innings. Although he struggled to find his feet in earlier matches for the county side, the Aussie al-lrounder posted scores of 192 and 112 in his last two matches for Queensland against NSW in the Sheffield Shield.

These five Aussies aren’t the only cricketers to bet on but given their recent form and past performances they remain five of the best options for cricket betting enthusiasts.
