Lala2790 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Couldn't see an Ashes Series thread so figured I'd start one. @Laaloo, feel free to sticky this Thread old sport. Obviously I will have an keen interest in how Australia go given Pakistan's own born Khawaja will likely play for Australia. I cannot see Australia losing a Test. I suspect they will whitewash England and win most games inside 4 days. The (lol) England batting line up looks very fragile except for Root how will likely struggle as most English captains do in Australia. Starc, Hazlewood and Lyon will be too strong for the batting line up while Smith (best batsman in the world), Warner (best opener in the world) and Khawaja will dominate the English retirement village pace attack. I for one would be very surpised if the scoring line wasn't 5 - 0 Australias favour at the end of the series RPSinghalong 1 Link to comment
sandeep Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Cook is old and likely to get exposed this tour. But correspondingly fat-arse Renshaw a.k.a. the great convict young hope, is also going to get exposed. Link to comment

Australia can afford to carry Renshaw with Warner, Handscombe and Smith comfortably amongst the worlds best batsmen RPSinghalong 1 Link to comment

Handy has not done much of note outside Oz. Smith is truly world-class - the only all-conditions batsman (with >40 avgs in all countries) around among players below 30. Link to comment
cowboysfan Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 5-0 without Stokes.Poms have a fragile batting lineup and their top bowlers are Old. Lala2790 1 Link to comment

Of course he is going to cash in this series, if he averages under 50 I'll cancel my account RPSinghalong 1 Link to comment

You gotta do better than this twurp. As far as Ashes is concerned I am with the yellow team cause they wear green at times. Australia always reminded me of the Pakistan in this Australian vs England rivilary. Lol, twurp Agree that there are many similarities between Pakistan and Australia. I still remember the great spell of quick bowling Wahab delivered to Watson in the 2015 WC - that was Mitchell Johnson like. Maxwell is very similar to Afridi - aggressive batsman who bowls handy spin. Amir and Starc are similar, Younis and Ponting, Misbah and Clarke - almost identical team compostitions Link to comment

When I see Australia vs Pakistan both of these teams seem to have that same fighting nature. Which makes the matches seem absolutly electric. the Pakistani sure did fight well to lose 3-0 in all 3 test matches they played. and that too with a team with misbah, younis, yasir, etc. Without Misbah and Younus, they will be decimated in Oz. What kind of a pathetic team loses to SL while playing on "home" turf? Edited November 9, 2017 by Vijy Turning_track 1 Link to comment

Despite losing 3 - 0, Pakistan were in the contest at many times during the match. We played well and Wahab and Amir bowled without luck. I suspect the scoreline would be different if we played the series again now Link to comment
flat_wicket_bully Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I feel like this is going be least exciting ashes quality wise by looking at both squads. Hope they prove me wrong lol Link to comment

The Pakistani-born great Khawaja, Warner and Smith will dine out on the 130kph plodders of the English attack while Starc, Hazlewood and Cummins will blast the fragile Pommy middle order. This series has a 2017 CT style thrashing written all over it RPSinghalong and Shaz1 2 Link to comment

puneet28 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Without Ben Stokes and Moin Ali, England is already a yard behind Australia before even start of Ashesh. Link to comment
Nikhil_cric Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Usman Khwaja is massively overrated. A bit of lateral movement and he is done for. Can only score on flat decks. However, I don't think Anderson has the pace to trouble any of their batsmen. Broad is the only bowler who might trouble the OZ batsmen if he is bowling at full tilt. On the other hand I think English batting will do better than they did last time since there's no threat of a genuine hit the deck bowler like Johnson. However, an attack of Hazelwood/Cummins/Starc/Lyon should still win them the series 5-0. Link to comment
