LONDON. — England have the right balance to beat Australia at this year’s Ashes cricket series, South Africa captain Faf du Plessis has said after his team’s 3-1 series defeat by Joe Root’s side.
Hosts England completed their series victory with a 177-run win at Old Trafford on Monday in a keenly contested series.
Australia will host England for five tests in one of the world’s most famous sporting rivalries with the first match beginning on November 23 in Brisbane.
England’s opening bowlers James Anderson and Stuart Broad is expected to bear most of the burden of keeping Australia’s batsmen in reins and the pace duo received a lot of praise from du Plessis.
“If you have assistance and skill, which England’s bowlers have, you can target Australia’s batting line-up,” du Plessis told the BBC. — Reuters.
