NEW DELHI: Former England spinner Monty Panesar backed his countrymen to reclaim the Ashes Down Underneath for the primary time in 15 years, saying that Ben Stokes and Co. will win the collection in the event that they clinch the primary Check in Perth.Panesar, who took half in England’s away Ashes campaigns in 2006–07 and 2013–14, believes the present squad is healthier outfitted to carry out a lot better than these earlier touring sides that had been whitewashed 5–0 in Australia.Though Australia haven’t misplaced a house Check to England since 2011, Panesar believes the guests have an edge this time given the hosts’ mounting harm issues.“You take a look at Australia and there’s no Pat Cummins and no Josh Hazlewood. They’ve acquired an opener, which is a David Warner substitute, however we do not know the way he will go about it.“Usman Khawaja within the final couple of years, his document has not been nice, let’s be trustworthy. So, I simply assume England are on edge right here, if England win the primary Check match (they will win the collection),” Panesar mentioned on SENWA Breakfast.Whereas Australia boast Nathan Lyon, who has 562 Check wickets, Panesar believes 22-year-old English spinner Shoaib Bashir has the potential to outperform the veteran on his personal turf, regardless of Bashir having solely 68 Check wickets at a mean of 39.“I feel they (England) will win at Brisbane, Adelaide will most likely be Australia, Melbourne, I feel possibly Australia once more. If it’s two-all going into Sydney, will probably be the battle of the spinners. And who is aware of, it could possibly be simply Shoaib Bashir coming into his personal there, so I consider it’s going to be 3-2 or 3-1, England,” he added.The primary Check between Australia and England begins in Perth on Friday.
