Angus Fraser on Ashes mind games

July 4th, 2009

Test matches against Australia have and always will provide cricketers with the ultimate challenge. England may have dominated early Ashes confrontations, and the West Indies did rule the cricketing world in the late Seventies, Eighties and early Nineties, but in the 133 years that Test cricket has been played, no team comes close to matching Australia’s win ratio of almost 50 per cent. The quality of cricketer produced Down Under is consistently high, and that is why contests against Australia continue to provide opponents with an accurate reading of where and how good they are as individuals and a team.
