5 areas that Australia needs to work on

#4 Effectively counter swing bowling

England v New Zealand: 2nd Investec Test - Day One — England has a formidable set of bowlers

Australia's batting is vulnerable to good quality swing bowling. In this Ashes, the conditions will especially suit England's bowling lineup. Early on in the innings, the ball will move around at speed and bounce.

With the likes of James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Chris Woakes and Jake Ball in the English camp, the Australian batsmen will need to work on countering the swing and minimise the damage wreaked by the bowlers.

Most Australian batsmen like Steven Smith, Shaun Marsh, David Warner, and Usman Khawaja tend to play away from the body to balls pitched outside the off-stump. This is an area that the English bowlers would look to target, and Australia's batting unit would have to come up with solutions to counter this.
