Hazelwood out for at least the first Test.
No it’s not England’s to lose.
The series might well be close. But saying a test is England’s to lose suggests they’re huge favourites. They’re not.
Never a better chance to start the Ashes with a win.
Im not downplaying their chances. Yes they have a great chance. It’s likely going to be close.
But they’re not big favourites, it’s not anyone’s to lose.
