Australia completely outplayed the visitors at their fortress – The Gabba and took 1-0 lead with 9 wickets thumping victory in the opening Test. And now they have another strong stat to stake their claim in the second Test at Adelaide Oval. The Aussies have played 8 pink-ball Test and have won each of them, including five at the Adelaide.
However, they will miss the services of Josh Hazlewood who has picked up 32 wickets in 6 Test matches he has played at Adelaide Oval. The availability of David Warner – who scored 94 runs in the opening game & has amassed 1045 runs in 8 innings at Adelaide, including 4 hundred – is also a big concern for the Aussies.
On the other hand, Stuart Broad and James Anderson who missed the opening Test are certain to return for the Adelaide Test and boost England’s chances. Anderson has played 4 Test matches at Adelaide Oval and has picked 16 wickets. Stuart Broad has picked 6 wickets in 3 Test matches at the venue. And, the duo also brings in the experience of 1156 wickets together.
But the problem for England doesn’t get over with the inclusion of both the key pacers. The main concern is still their batting. England’s batting is overly dependent upon their skipper Joe Root. Rory Burns’ form has been a big concern for the visitors and former England captains in Michael Vaughan and Naseer Hussain have urged other batters to step up and contribute.
Also, Australia and England have met at Adelaide Oval for the day-night Test with the hosts turning out victorious by 120 runs. Though the addition of Broad-Anderson gives England a slight edge, the visitors will need some miraculous performances to outplay Australia at the Adelaide.
