Ashes: England Look To Silence Australia, Crowd & Critics In Perth
Star Sports Network: Australia and England are set to renew their rivalry when they clash in the opening Test of the Ashes series at the Optus Stadium in Perth. On Friday, in the early hours of the morning, Brendon McCullum and his team will start their campaign to achieve something no England team has managed since the glory days of 2011: winning the Ashes overseas.
Furthermore, England have not won any Test matches in Australia during that period. Many of their trips to Australia over the past 15 years have been disappointing, often resulting in some of the most one-sided matches imaginable.
However, with McCullum and Stokes leading and having dedicated years to developing their philosophy, many believe this is England’s best chance to win the urn in years. The duo focus on aggressive batting and bowling, high release points, tall players and a positive team spirit.
