The Hindu
England has lost nine of the 10 Tests it has played in Australia; the Australians haven't played a Test since the 2-1 series loss to India in January
One particular contest between bat and ball could shape this Ashes series.
Pat Cummins is set to lead the home team, putting a fast bowler’s perspective on Australia’s Test cricket captaincy for the first time since the 1950s. Joe Root is primed to lead England with the bat again in a series he thinks may define his career.
“A bowling captain for Australia and a batting captain for England — two captains going toe to toe will be great,” England wicketkeeper Jos Buttler said on the eve of the first Test.
