England can hit Australia with pace again – Carse

In the second Ashes Test in Brisbane, Brydon Carse believes England can attack Australia with pace once more.

The first Test ended with a crushing defeat for the tourists, but Perth returned the highest overall average speed ever recorded by an England attack on the opening day.

For Thursday’s second Test, a day-nighter, England will be without their fastest bowler, Mark Wood.

When asked if England could match the pace of the first innings in Perth, Carse replied, “I’d like to think so.” We are very excited about what this week has to offer, both individually and collectively, and we take a lot of confidence.

In the first innings, England defeated Australia for 132, but the hosts struggled to maintain their collective pace as they raced to 205 in 28.2 overs.

The bowlers’ lack of rest was one of the reasons. After being dismissed in their second innings of 34.4 overs, England bowled twice on the following day.

England head coach Brendon McCullum made the case that batters should give bowlers longer to recover following the Perth defeat, which was the first two-day Ashes Test in 104 years.

Carse, who has taken 41 wickets in his 10 Test starts, said, “The volume we bowled in that first innings wasn’t as bad as it would be in a typical full day.

There is no justification for having to bowl on day two. These rest days will definitely take on more significance as the series progresses. We’ll assess it more closely, as well as more closely, depending on the game’s circumstances.

Due to soreness in Wood’s left knee, which he had surgery on in March, he is unlikely to play in Brisbane.

Wood was the only member of the England squad who participated in the country’s first training session on Monday at the Gabba.

England have only seven matches played, losing five, while Australia are experienced in day-night tests, 14 of which have featured Australia in 24 previous floodlit matches worldwide.

Tuesday’s training session for England will take place in the afternoon, with a second underbelly practice starting on Wednesday.

England have a terrible record, but Ben Stokes’ side are trying to level the series. Since 1986, they haven’t won here.

Carse, 30, predicted that because of the 1-0 deficit, England will be prepared for a “hostile” atmosphere at the Gabba.

England’s run of 16 Test victories in Australia dates back to 2011, but they haven’t won any of them. Carse acknowledged the importance of keeping the series alive as thousands of supporters were scheduled to travel over the holiday season.

The Durham man remarked, “The English support at Perth was fantastic. Someone mentioned to me recently how many fans are traveling throughout the Ashes series.

“The following and the support we receive are very kind to us. Every player in that dressing room, along with the fans, and everyone who follows English cricket, is keen to win. We’ll be aiming to make both their and our faces smiles.

After Usman Khawaja struggled with back spasms in Perth and his replacement, Travis Head, lost the match-winning hundred in the second innings, Australia has yet to confirm who will start the batting.

On Monday, Khawaja practiced some physical exercises and batted in the nets.

You can tell that Usman is a top-notch player when you consider his performance and contributions to Australian cricket, said batter Marnus Labuschagne. He has been a rock at the top of the charts because of his super consistency.
