Steve Smith To Ben Stokes - Five Players To Watch Out For In Ashes!

The first Test between England and Australia starts at Brisbane's Gabba on Wednesday. Here, let's have a look at the five players who could be match-winners in the Ashes. Steve Smith (Australi

Pat Cummins (Australia)

The world's number one ranked Test bowler, new Australia captain Cummins will play a crucial role.

As a leader of a formidable pace attack alongside Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood, he has an unerring ability to hit the right length and was outstanding when Australia retained the Ashes on English soil in 2019, taking 29 wickets at 19.62.

Cummins' career average of 21.59 is superior to any other current Test bowler and his bounce, pace and accuracy mean the right-handed quick is a real danger to England's batting line-up.

But how he handles the captaincy will be closely watched after taking over at short notice when Tim Paine resigned over a text-message scandal.
