5 reasons why England look stronger than Australia for the Ashes

#3 Settled bowling combination

Anderson and Broad have been magnificent in shouldering the responsibility

There’s not even an iota of doubt on who would be England’s bowling spearheads in the upcoming Ashes. James Anderson and Stuart Broad were leading wicket-takers for England in 2010-11 and 2013-14 Ashes respectively. Both Anderson and Broad look to be in great rhythm. Anderson has picked up 30 wickets at 15.90 in 6 Tests. While Broad has been a bit unlucky but has bowled really well in the 6 games he’s played.

England have good backup seamers as well. Woakes has added that extra yard of pace, Roland-Jones can hit the deck hard and Mark Wood has express and nippy pace. All of them have had a go at some point of time in the home season. Addition to this will be Moeen Ali, who has been relentless with his off-spin and has improved with time.
