‘If you go 2-0 down here in Australia, that’s the Ashes as good as done’: Atherton to Eng
Former England batter Michael Atherton warned the team that if they lose the 2nd Ashes series at Brisbane, the series could be over. Australia won the first Test by 8 runs, taking a 1-0 lead. Atherton believes England needs to bounce back and exploit vulnerabilities in the Australian team. Meanwhile, Australia's captain Pat Cummins will not be playing in the second Test due to a back injury.
