It's Great To Have X-factor Archer, Wood Possess: Stokes Ponders Pace Bartage In Ashes Opener
ICC World Test Championship: Captain Ben Stokes has hinted England considering including pace duo Jofra Archer and Mark Wood in his side's XI for the opening Ashes Test in Perth to land a stunning first round blow on Australia’s batting order
England have arrived in Australia with a full book of health to choose from and with a strong pace attack that includes Gus Atkinson, Brydon Carse, Matthew Potts, Archer and Wood that will all be given the chance to shine during the sole warm-up fixture against England Lions that commences on Thursday.
Due largely to injuries, Archer and Wood have never played a Test match together against Australia, but they have each had Ashes moments that stick in the memory.
