Ricky seeks elusive glory
FROM PAGE 17
Flintoff, England’s hero four years ago, is coming back from a knee injury while star batsman Kevin Pietersen heads into the Ashes under the cloud of an Achilles problem.
England do at least appear to have more and better spin options than Australia although it will be up to the home side's batsmen to give the likes of Graeme Swann and Monty Panesar something to bowl at, even on a Cardiff pitch for next week’s Ashes opener which has a reputation for taking turn.
Off-spinner Nathan Hauritz, an unusually conservative selection by Australian standards, has rarely looked like taking a wicket so far on tour, a vindication of the damning assessment of former Australia captain Ian Chappell that containers should remain the preserve of the shipping industry.
"One of the great strengths of Australian cricket has been how adaptable we've been over a long period of time," said Ponting.
"Yes Swann has done a good job in the games he's played but I see him as being fairly similar to Nathan Hauritz. They are not overly big spinners."
If Australia do leave Hauritz out, it will mean Ponting having to fiddle overs from the likes of Michael Clarke and Marcus North if his quicks are not to run the risk of burnout.
Australia opener Phillip Hughes burst on the scene in South Africa with back-to-back hundreds in only his second Test but the unorthodox left-hander was roughed up by fast bowler Stephen Harmison against the Lions.
Having said that Harmison, equally capable of sending the ball to second slip as he is of sending down a blistering
bouncer, is currently out of the England side and may not feature in the Ashes at all.
In Strauss, England have a captain who helped unify the side after the fall-out from Pietersen's enforced resignation from the post.
A sound opener it will be up to him and fellow left-hander Alastair Cook to give England a solid platform at the top of the order.
New England No 3 Ravi Bopara looked good against a lacklustre West Indies but how he goes during the Ashes remains to be seen - as indeed does the latest chapter in cricket's oldest international rivalry.
