Only thing is Aussies don’t seem to have great back ups for guys like Warner,Smith,Starc,Cummins,Hazelwood .

 

Labuschagne is alright but he didn’t fix anything because there are plenty of contenders like Khwaja,Marsh etc who are equally good.

 

England on the other hand seems to have this steady supply of good young multi skilled players.  Suddenly they seem to unearth a match winner out of nowhere. It’s only a matter of time before they get that perfect combo. Sam Curran was the single factor between India and England. Archer came out of nowhere and helped them win the wc, apart from Butler and Bairstow they have atleast 3-4 more keepers good to play International cricket. 

 

 

 

No. Labuschagne is ahead.

I won't defend the sandpaper incident because it was reprehensible. But on sheer execution, Australia did very well on English soil where England is usually very dominant. At the next Ashes down under, I think Aus will roll over Eng.

England missed their main weapon Anderson.

Seen the 1st three episodes, quite boring tbh. It is difficult to connect for those who are not thorough fans of Oz cricket. Looks like a glorified advertisement of Aus cricket post Sandpaper gate.

[Ankit_sharma03]

Langer forced these guys to stay together all time even when they took time off between games, we have had news that our team has roamed around separately in between games in all recent England tours

[Ankit_sharma03]

Finished it

A very very good watch for every cricket lover ...ashes bit is excellent .

Nah. Archer was still a debutant. Things would have been different had both played. Archer lost steam quickly after his first test.

Archer got fifer in 3rd & 5th test and was MOM in one of them. If Anderson was playing who knows archer would have never played and smith wouldn't have missed a test as well.
