The Ashes, Fourth Test Tips & Previews, Wednesday 5th January

It is unknown if we are going to get any play at all for this fourth test given the horrendous weather conditions set for Sydney over the next few days. 

But let’s get into analysis as though we are going to have enough time to get a result. 

Having already retained the Ashes, Australia faces England at the SCG with a 3-0 winning lead in the Test Series. 

In game that is marked as ‘The Pink Test’ in honour of Jane McGrath, the Australians will look to continue their brutal dominance of the English. 

The Aussies were simply brilliant at the MCG as they held up the little urn after smashing the Poms by an innings and 14 runs. 

There were stories galore, but England is going to try to restore some pride in what has been a disastrous Ashes series. 

Questions had been raised about the English batting stocks and those queries were made valid after a horrible performance with the willow in Melbourne. 

Scott Boland has retained his spot in the team for Australia after tormenting the English batsman in the second innings at the MCG, while Usman Khawaja earns another cap having replaced Marcus Harris at the top of the order. 

For England, Stuart Broad will likely replace one of the fast bowlers with the star paceman angling for a return after missing the Boxing Day test. 

Given what we have seen in the series so far, unless the Australians just completely put the feet and relax, there is a snowflakes chance in hell England can win in this match. 

Australia is playing for a massive cause outside of the cricket as well with breast cancer funding and research at the forefront of this occasion. 

Expecting a 4-0 series lead to the Australians in what will be an emotionally-charged win in front of a packed SCG.
