All well and good with those stats, but have you taken side strength into account? Bowling on Indian pitches, and against the best side in the world will mean your average inevitably goes up.
Can Australia really win the Ashes?
England did do this against SA, they just dropped so many catches and it cost them.
Australia vs Sri Lanka - Brisbane ODI: cricket live scores, updates
Bresnan was a flash in the pan. He bowls 75mph cannon fodder.
Broad has a foot injury? Not he was destroyed by the South Africans and has since be exposed as the village bowler his is.
Bell is cack. He’s got the mental toughness as a paper bag in the rain.
So Cook averages 90 as captain, so what? 2 hundreds vs Bangladesh and 3 lucky ones against a terrible Indian side.
Amla and Pup are all time greats. Cook will end with an average if 45.
—————————————————————————————————
Bresnan is a low 80 mph bowler for a start, and is very good under English conditions, he doesn’t start any more anyway! And also is more than handy with the bat
He sustained it between the West Indies series and SA series and was dross in the SA series.
Bell Averages 44 in aus and 54 in Eng, which is more than most of your batsmen!
What about the 127.66 he averaged last time out down under?
If you don’t rate Cook you’re clueless.
I look forwards to the whitewash you will get 🙂
Australia are not ready for Ashes - yet
Cook is currently averaging 90.40 under his captaincy and Clarke 69.45.
Bell gets runs anywhere apart from the sub continent.
Trott has a great record vs Aus, he averages 86.42 with 3 tons in 6 games.
The same Bresnan who was excellent down under?
You haven’t seen Finn bowl then.
Broad has been injured for a while, he’s usually 85-7 mph but has been down to the high 70’s due to a foot injury.

They’re ranked 8th in the world and are mediocre. That was on a day 5 pitch when most of the green had gone from the track and he just could hit through the line (still a great innings no doubt)

England will not play 2 spinners at home, I can tell you that for a fact.

Wade averaged 30 against the Saffers, he’s no where near as good as prior.

Let’s see Warner bat on pitches that aren’t complete roads and the ball moves about first, as in the most recent ODI series he struggled.
I’d have broad in my team over siddle, better bat and in England a better bowler.
2-1 England is a bit optimistic for your lads isn’t it?

Being English I’m obviously loving the state of our Cricket atm!
In my opinion I believe although you have decent fast bowlers none of them would get into our team, as with the batting order (exception of clarke, but he has something to prove batting over here against the moving ball)
Personally I think It will be 3/4 -0 England.

He’s nothing special, Pattinson is a very good bowler mind.
