England vs Australia | Team Prediction| England vs Australia 1st Ashes Test, Team News, Playing11 |Match Preview

The oldest rivalry of cricket is set to begin, with the English looking in abundance of confidence from their World Cup win, this year’s  Ashes Will Look To Be A Spectacular Event.  The English team looked a little out of form when they came back after a crushing loss to their neighbors, Ireland in a one-off Test match. Although Joe Root’s team is high on self-confidence they have been incoherent in this format as they lost against West Indies at the beginning of the year. The Australian side will be strengthened by the return of their banned superstars David Warner and Steve Smith. Though the team has not been in consistent form after the ball-tampering debacle, they have shown commendable fighting spirit under the leadership of Tim Paine.
