US EditionEngland Face Daunting Task to Break Ashes Drought in Australia
England rely on an inexperienced fast bowling lineup to break a 15-year away drought while Australia struggles with injuries and top-order instability, experts highlight pace as key.
- England arrive in Australia relying on a pace-heavy attack led by Jofra Archer and Mark Wood, with captain Ben Stokes saying they start with a clean slate to end a 15-year drought.
- With Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood sidelined, Australia arrive with a truncated pace group, and Mitchell Johnson warned their absence `starts to rewrite the whole script for the Ashes`.
- England are counting on Joe Root and Harry Brook for big scores amid concerns over their returns in Australia, with Brook yet to play a Test there and Root still without a century Down Under despite a 51.29 career average.
- The Ashes open at a sold-out Perth Stadium on a quick, bouncy track, with former Australia captain Greg Chappell saying the series will be decided by the superior fast-bowling unit.
- Australia's top-order uncertainty, including Usman Khawaja's instability, adds long-term consequence as Brendan Doggett is tipped to debut and Jake Weatherald leads Sheffield Shield scoring.
