Players to watch
Ben Stokes
Recent revelations about that much-publicised nightclub brawl in Bristol could see England’s star allrounder reinstated for the first Test in Brisbane. That is bad news for the Aussies, as Stokes is a genuine match-winner who scores runs and takes wickets when his team needs them most. With him in the side, England can win it all; without him, the Ashes are gone and the one-dayers will be a struggle.
Steve Smith
Don’t sound the alarm bells just yet, but these are trying times for Australia’s superstar skipper. Questions about the quality of his leadership (both on and off the field) have coincided with some fluctuating form at the popping crease, most notably on the recent tour of Bangladesh. Steve Smith is a beast on home soil, however, and there is no reason to expect anything but another big summer.
Joe Root
It is widely accepted that Smith and Joe Root belong to an elite super-class of contemporary batsmen that also includes India’s Virat Kohli and New Zealand’s Kane Williamson. The England Test captain is a cool, calm and collected accumulator who racks up big runs in all formats, and one feels he will need to deliver the goods on a regular basis if the Brits are to have any joy in the Antipodes.
Mitchell Starc
After a few months on the sidelines, Australia’s left-arm spearhead announced his return with a career-best 8/72 in the opening round of the Sheffield Shield season. While Starc will be a nightmare for the English bats if he can get the red ball swinging on fast, hard pitches, his peerless limited-overs credentials make him an even tougher prospect in the ODI and T20 games.
