5 reasons why England need to be concerned ahead of the Ashes

5. Aussie pace attack

If all four of them are fit, they will form a potent attack.

Australia have been long drooling about the fact that they can unleash a pace quartet comprising of Starc, Hazlewood, Cummins and Pattinson in the upcoming Ashes. If they do, England might in for a tough time Down Under later this year.

With Australia opting to take precautionary measures by resting Starc and Pattinson, it is evident that the team management is itching for all four of them to be fit for the Ashes.

Facing hostile fast bowling isn’t easy at all and England know that very well as they have faced chin music from the likes of Johnson (who was the wrecker in-chief picking up 37 wickets in 2013-14 Ashes) and Harris when they were in Australia back in 2013-14. England need to be prepared to face hostile conditions, and be much better prepared than the last time and learn from the mistakes they committed last time.
