    "editor1": "<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>London, July 14- <\/strong>&nbsp;Former captain Steve Waugh has said Australia&#39;s lack of energy in the first Ashes Test in Cardiff and England&#39;s upbeat nature made it look &quot;almost like we&#39;d swapped our caps&quot; from the 2013-14 series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Australia dominated the 2013-14 Ashes to the point that they secured just the third five-nil whitewash in the storied history of the rivalry. However, the tables were emphatically turned in last week&#39;s series opening match of the five-Test series as England emerged convincing 169-run winners.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;England played very well, I was impressed. They seemed really together, working for each other, they played aggressively. I liked the look of some of their players, I like all-rounder Ben Stokes, I think he gives England some real energy and impetus,&quot; Waugh was quoted as saying by Cricket Australia (CA) on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The second Test begins at Lord&#39;s cricket ground on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;From Australia&rsquo;s point of view, we&rsquo;ll play much better, there&rsquo;s no doubt about that, I think we&rsquo;ll come back at Lord&rsquo;s. We weren&rsquo;t at our best. We just seemed to lack a bit of energy for whatever reason in that first Test, which was unlike us.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;In fact, when I was watching, it was almost like we&rsquo;d swapped our caps for that Test match. It looked like, not in a bad way, but (in comparison to) in the recent series in Australia, the way England played in Australia, it looked like that, but we&rsquo;ll turn it round for sure,&quot; the 50-year-old said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Australian head into the second Test with injury and form concerns as they look to avoid slipping to a third straight Ashes defeat at Lord&rsquo;s.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"line-height: 23.1111106872559px; text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;(IANS)<\/span><\/p>\r\n",
