Archer literally in cotton wool, Root inventing another shot and South Africa claiming the urn – some predictions for the year ahead
The final game between Australia and India at the SCG, the Aussies’ last home Test before they face England in Perth in November, features every single member of Pat Cummins’ side becoming complicit in what is interpreted within the England camp as a significant escalation in Ashes mind games. Hackles are raised after, across seven full days of training and playing, the Australians barely mention the Ashes, and at no stage appear to constantly obsess about the still-distant series at all.
“You can tell we’ve really got into their heads,” an England source tells the Mail. “Six months to go, and they’ve literally started kidnapping our best players.”Australia’s search for a reliable opening partnership reaches new depths of desperation as, including a concussion substitute, they somehow try seven different players at the top of the order during a three-Test series against West Indies, ranging in age from 19 to 38.
