, his experience of australian pitches will def give em an edge 
... and jofra archer if he can stay fit then england's attack is sorted 
... but u know australia's got some tricky bowlers too, like jos hazlewood... i'm not sure about gus atkinson tho, has he really shown his mettle yet? 
, but can't help feeling that England's attack is a bit one-dimensional without Jofra Archer throwing his wild shots around 
. 
now that Pat Cummins is out. But I still think Gus Atkinson has what it takes to trouble English batsmen on these pitches 
.
, and if he can keep his cool, England's middle order might get a taste of their own medicine 
. 
sounds a bit far-fetched to me, but hey, maybe I'm just being too pessimistic 
. One thing is for sure - this Ashes series is gonna be an absolute cracker of a contest 
!
. And let's be real, Josh Hazlewood is like a right pesky little insect when it comes to getting England's openers out for cheap. But I reckon Gus Atkinson has the potential to cause some trouble with that top of off-stump trick of his 
.
And what's with all the emphasis on England's openers? Don't they know how to handle a few Australian swing balls already? 
. People are giving too much credit to Ben Stokes, he's got a good track record, sure, but can he handle the pressure on the biggest stage? And what about Jofra Archer, everyone's expecting him to step up, but what if he's still injured 
. I think England needs more depth than just Stokes and Archer.
. But can Josh Hazlewood really handle the English middle order? I reckon it'll be a tough ask. And Pat Cummins' absence won't be felt that much, I think the Aussie team has got enough experience to fill the gap.
! I think Ben Stokes is going to be a game-changer for England - he's got that Aussie experience under his belt and can bring balance to their attack. Meanwhile, Josh Hazlewood seems like a solid choice for Australia, his accuracy is top-notch and could give England's openers a run for their money 
. I'm intrigued by Gus Atkinson for England too, hitting the top of off-stump on Aussie pitches is no easy feat! As for Australia, Steve Smith looks like he's back to form and will be crucial in anchoring that middle order 
️. And can't wait to see what Jofra Archer brings to the table if he stays fit and firing 
.
. Gus Atkinson's potential is nice, but let's see if he can deliver under pressure 
.
. I'm loving all the predictions from these experts and commentators too, it's gonna be an intense series! Can't wait to see how it all plays out 
. And Steve Smith's still one of the most underrated batsmen in the game, IMHO. He's been working hard to get back to form and I think he'll be a real thorn in England's side.
. And Jofra Archer, yeah, let's hope he stays fit and healthy for once 
. I think England's got this one in the bag 
The real danger is not that the player will be a failure, but that he will become a prisoner of his own success 
. As for Australia, Steve Smith is always a solid player and will look to anchor their middle order... fingers crossed for a few wickets from Jofra Archer if he stays fit 
. The Aussies are gonna take the Ashes, and it's gonna be a close series, not a landslide win for them like some people think 
.
That's some big shoes to fill but I'm sure he'll do great. For England, Gus Atkinson seems like a dark horse (in a good way 
!
