As speculation mounts over who will take over from Hamish Blake and Andy Lee when they finish up their drive-time radio gig at 2DayFM, online bookmaker Sportsbet is taking bets on it, and has a popular duo from a rival network as the frontrunners.
Sportsbet has installed Nova’s Fitzy & Wippa (pictured above) at the top of the betting at odds of $2.50, with Network Ten’s The Project host Carrie Bickmore second favourite at $4.
Here the full list of betting odds for the Hamish & Andy replacement market:
$2.50 – Fitzy & Wippa (Nova)

Sportsbet’s Will Byrne said: “It’s a mammoth task to try bring the same charisma to the airwaves that Hamish & Andy have, but if anyone can come close to replicating their magic, it would be Fitzy & Wippa, so they’re rightful favourites.”
