I can’t see the Ashes ending well. We will really miss Archer, him and Wood together would have enabled us to fight fire with fire. Unfortunately the rest of our attack is too “English”. They’re great in home conditions but once the shine goes off the Kookaburra ball in Oz they struggle.
I think Robinson could do well. My one question with him is fitness - you saw in the summer after multiple spells, particularly across consecutive matches, he drops off - going from 82/83 mph to about 77/78 mph, which is a big difference. He’s a talented bowler, but I’m not entirely convinced he’s in as good shape as he could be.
