I am loving the downplaying of England's chances. I honestly believe it is a deliberate ploy. 
Aussies
No Cummins for at least the first test.
A partially fit Hazelwood to lead the attack.
A brittle batting line up with the veteran Kawaja having his umpteenth opening partner.
Labuschagne on the wane.
No recognised all rounder of any repute.
Compared to England this is definitely a weaker outlook.
A close series that is in the balance for me. England have an excellent chance of bringing it home. The fitness of their pace bowlers could be a pivotal factor.
