Preview :

1-0 Australia. Pretty much expected, wasn't it? Well, perhaps not. The 2021-22 Ashes started with a bit of a puzzle, because unlike previous series, this seems to be a contest between two really good bowling attacks and some pretty inexperienced batting lineups. However, the scorecard does not suggest so. The first Test seems to indicate that Australia blew England away which actually happened because of two reasons - 1. Australia's luck at winning the toss and bowling in overcast conditions. 2. Some really shoddy fielding by English in the second innings. The visitors had plenty of opportunities to wrestle back into the match but with every step forward, they seemed to be taking two steps back, thanks to dropped catches and missed run outs. Now, we move to Adelaide, which comes as a sigh of relief for batters from both sides. The skies are predicted to be clear here for the next 5 days and the surface, in all likelihood, is going to be a highway. So feast as much as you can with the bat, with only one caution - lights. The pink Kookaburra ball swings prodigiously under lights and the final sessions would be the key for both teams' bowlers. In the past, one such session has swung a match and expect more of the same. Normally, when you look at the venue and the conditions, you would tip fast bowlers to make merry. But pitch curatorDamien Hough has openly claimed that this is going to be a wicket which will assist the spinners. Wow. That adds more intrigue. How will England respond to their previous loss? Clearly, both James Andersonand Stuart Broadshould come back into the playing XI, but at whose expense? Jack Leachseems to be one such scapegoat but what if the pitch does actually turn? Another thought to ponder about is should Jonny Bairstowcontinue to remain in the sidelines? One just feels he is too good a player to just sit outside. Thankfully for them, they do not have to deal with injuries at this point of time. However, coming to Australia, even though newly made skipper Pat Cummins has announced the playing XI, which has Jhye Richardsonreplacing the injured Josh Hazlewood, there are injury concerns regarding David Warner.The southpaw suffered an injury to his ribs during the first Test but has been deemed fit after passing a fitness test. After all, the last time he batted here, he scored a tiny unbeaten 335 (pun intended) against Pakistan, in November 2019, which was also a day/night affair. Never good to rest when in good form, aye? Expect a better encounter this time and watch out for the likes of Anderson, Broad and Starc. Yes, Starc. He might have had a forgetful year but the pink ball and Starc are a different combination. 46 wickets in 15 innings, at an average of 18.86 and strike rate of 36. And in these 15 innings, he has taken 3 wickets or more in an innings an astounding 10 times. The last time these two teams played here in 2017, Starc had 8 for the match, which included a Michelle in the second innings. 8 matches, 8 wins. This has been Australia's record in Day/Night Tests so far. Only time will tell whether that number will change. Lick your lips, fellas and enjoy a rip-roaring contest!
