Ashes 2017:The clash of the Titans

The most awaited test series of the year,Ashes is back with Australia and England battling one more time.This blog about the team analysis of both the teams and who stands a better chance this time. This year's Ashes series is a very different contest all together.Both the teams have a bunch of new players and debutants.This makes the series even more interesting.Talking about the visitors i.e England,the whole batting line up revolves aroung two players Alaister Cook and Joe Root.The whole team is a lot more dependant on these two players.The top order of England having the likes of  Mark Stoneman,David Malan,James Vince is difficult to predict as these players don't have much experience.But the strength lies in the lower middle order of England where there is Moeen Ali,Jonny Bairstow.Both these players have a decent average of 35+.But it would be intersting to see how Moeen Ali plays in the fast and bouncy pitches of Australia.He got exposed to short balls when England ...
