Ashes 2015: 5 Reasons why England can comeback strong in 3rd Test

Ashes 2015: 5 Reasons why England can comeback strong in 3rd Test: Having gone down by 405 runs in the second Ashes Test by Australia, England will not dwell on it too much when the third Test gets underway at Edgbaston on Wednesday.

They are more than capable to turn the tide in the series and playing at home it would be silly to dismiss their chances so early. England won the first Test in Cardiff by 169 runs in a near-perfect performance and they can take a lot of heart from that. They have a lot of experience in the dressing room with the likes of Trevor Bayliss and company to not let their confidence drop.

Here are 5 Reasons why England can comeback strong in 3rd Test of Ashes 2015:

1. The Aussie pattern:

This is a familiar Australian pattern, a tendency to either win or lose by big margins, with large first innings totals under-pinning many of the victories. They have also shown a trend of not being able to recover in the middle of a Test if the chips are down. The star performers at Lord’s were predictable. Their real test would be when they lose Smith and Rogers early and if Cardiff is any indication to go by, England should fancy its chances if they remove the duo early in Birmingham.
