Australia (AUS) vs England (ENG), 2nd Ashes Test Match Date, Time, Squad, Venue, Pitch-Weather Report: After a two-day Test match at Perth in the first Ashes Test, all eyes are now on the pink-ball affair in Brisbane starting on Thursday. While England has already named their playing XI for the game, Australia have delayed theirs as there is still uncertainty on Pat Cummins’ availability.
On a pitch which was doing a bit in the first Test, the England batters did not have answers for Mitchell Starc’s fiery spell in the first game and with the pink ball, Starc’s record is immaculate. The onus will be on the England batting to put runs on the board to give themselves a chance with the ball later.
Here’s a look at all the details ahead of Australia vs England 2nd Ashes Test in Brisbane
Australia predicted XI: Travis Head, Jake Weatherald, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith (c), Cameron Green, Josh Inglis, Alex Carey (wk), Mitch Starc, Michael Neser, Scott Boland, Brendan Doggett
Key player to watch out for: All eyes will be again on Travis Head, who slammed a match-winning century in the 2nd innings of the Perth Test, which blew England away. If he were to open and deliver a counter punch as he could do in Perth, the game would be taken away by England in a matter of sessions.
England predicted XI: Ben Duckett, Zak Crawley, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook (vice-captain), Ben Stokes (captain), Jamie Smith (wk), Will Jacks, Gus Atkinson, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer,
Key player to watch out for: Ben Stokes managed to pick up five wickets in no time in the 2nd Test. Although his bowling has come leaps and bounds in recent times, his batting is something which cannot be ignored by Australia as he has a tendency which very few batters in world game are gifted with, which is to win games of cricket from unwinnable positions.
