Since the summer of 2022, when the Bazball era began in England, the team under Ben Stokes England have played 41 Tests, winning 25 and losing 16.
Now, for the first time, this duo will lead England in an Ashes series in Australia. It will be interesting to see how they perform there. England last won an Ashes series in Australia way back in 2010 to 2011, with a 3-1 victory. Since then, they have struggled, losing 5-0 in 2013-14, 4-0 in 2017-18, and 4-0 again in 2021-22. So this will be a huge challenge.
It will also be a big test for Joe Root, one of England’s best batters, who is still looking for his first century in Australia.
On the other hand, Australia will be under pressure too, as their top order has not been consistent since David Warner retired. This sets up an interesting battle between Australia’s shaky top order and England’s vulnerable bowling attack, which will miss the experience of James Anderson and Stuart Broad, both of whom played in previous Ashes series in Australia.
