Can England win the ashes in 2015, well I am not to sure let me explain why I see it this way.
You just got to look at the 2 teams in General, first the openers England have Alistair Cook and Sam Robson, The Australians Have Chis Rogers and David Warner, Cook and Robson plod along and try to bore the opposition to sleep, Rogers and Warner, roger a solid foe for the flamboyant Warner, who reminds me of how Michael Slater used to bat, play my shots and take the game away for the opposition.
Then we look at the 2 captains, Alistair Cook, tactically Naïve and inept, very reactive and not proactive, does not no how to change the game, Michael Clarke very astute, very tactically brilliant and can change a game with his fielding positions.
The bowling attack, England have Jimmy Anderson, Stuart Broad and who else they fucked England fastest Bowler, Steve Finn up, telling him he is un-pick able, is Tim Bresnan really the answer, yet the best bowler in the county game for the last few season doesn't get picked, Graham Onions, as for a spinner well Swann bottled it as soon as England lost the ashes in the winter, Monty Panesar the best yet won't get picked, is Moeen Ali the answer, I'm not sure.
Now the Australian Attack well Mitchell Johnson consistently bowls at 90 plus MPH, Ryan Harris Very steady and can bowl a hard ball, Peter Siddle another very steady and consistent bowler, Shane Watson not only bowls but bats at 3, in the back ground putting pressure on the bowlers there is Mitch Starc, James Pattinson and James Faulkner, they have a very useful spinner in Nathan Lyon.
There is not much to split the Wicketkeepers Australia have Brad Haddin very steady and useful with the bat, England have Joss Buttler who could turn out to be the next Adam Gilchrist.
Now lets look at the coaches, Peter Moores first, it's his second spell as coach of England his first ended in controversy with a falling out with Kevin Pietersen and Morres was sacked, what test experience does he have, well the answer to that is none, zilch, Zero, he has never played test or international cricket.
Now Darren Lehmann, played county cricket for Yorkshire, played 27 test matches, scored 1798 runs at an average of 44.95, with 5 hundreds and 10 fifties, coached Australia to last winters 5-0 white wash of England.
England will surely miss both Kevin Pietersen and Jonathon Trott, Pietersen being Englands top run scorer in the winter and has scored 8,181 at an average of 47.28, with 23 Hundreds and 35 Fifties.
Pietersen was used as a scapegoat for the 5-0 white wash in the winter.
