The Ashes Coverage

Posted by Betwala on July 25th, 2019

England will look to beat Australia for the second time in less than a month in The Ashes, one of cricket’s premier Test matches. This will actually be the 331st meeting between the two teams since the inauguration and maiden match back in 1883. In all the matches played between them, Australia has more wins than England. This isn’t a surprise seeing that Australia has always been one of the most dominant teams in the sport. However, in the recently concluded ICC Cricket World Cup, the semi-finals match between these two saw England win over its rival and go on to beat New Zealand to win the tournament - it was their first-ever World Cup.

Most say that the reason England won the World Cup was because of luck - and some errors by the umpires. But most of the England cricket players point to Ben Stokes who, by sheer luck and determination, brought England its first World Cup. A fielding error caused them to score six runs, but a former umpire said that only five runs were supposed to be awarded. Nevertheless, if it’s for you, then nothing can prevent it from happening.

The Ashes is a completely different match altogether. Lasting more than a month and spanning five Tests over a course of 25 combined days. It tests players’ endurance, strategy, and ability to cope with ever-changing conditions. Given the circumstances, both teams will be looking to start anew: England will look to continue their winning ways and carry on the good work and excellent performance they had in the World Cup while Australia will be looking to avenge their defeat - they were the previous Wolrd Cup title holders after all. What’s more, Australia is also the defending Ashes champion and they aren’t looking to hand over the trophy to England.
