Boland Backs Australia To Thrive Against England In Ashes If Wickets Stay Consistent
With Pat Cummins: Veteran seamer Scott Boland has backed Australia to thrive against England in this year’s Ashes if wickets in the country stay consistent and bowler-friendly to counter the visitors’ aggressive “Bazball” approach.
The five-match Ashes series starts in Perth on November 21. "They're going to play aggressively. If the wickets stay similar to what they've been over the last few years, I think we're going to be in the game all the time."
"There were little parts of the England tour last time, when the ball sort of moved around and favoured the bowlers, but generally over there, the wickets have been a bit flatter. And then when you come to Australia, certainly the last three or four years, they've been bowler friendly," Boland was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo, on the sidelines of making 100 days to go for the Ashes in Melbourne.
