The most anticipated Ashes series will start on November 21.
Former Australian opener David Warner has dismissed claims that England’s aggressive “Bazball” style will give them an edge in the Ashes.
Speaking to the media, Warner was asked which team’s style would dominate the Ashes, starting November 21 in Perth. He backed Australia, saying they are focused on winning the Ashes, while suggesting England are mostly playing for a moral victory.
“The Australian way because we’re playing for the Ashes and they’re playing for a moral victory. There’s your headline,” David Warner said.
David Warner has shared his prediction for the 2025 Ashes, saying he expects Australia to win 4-0. He added that there might be one match washed out, likely in Sydney. Warner believes the result will largely depend on captain Pat Cummins. If Cummins plays, Australia could win all four matches, but if he misses, they might only manage to win one game.
“4-nil. It’s going to be a great series. All dependant on the captain (Pat Cummins). If the captain doesn’t play, they might win one game. If Cummo’s there, 4-nil. If not, they probably win one game only.” he added.
The most anticipated Ashes series will start on November 21, with the first Test taking place at Optus Stadium in Perth.
