The fast launcher Scott Boland said that Australia will ignore any assault on the ground written by England this summer, 100 days from the first ash test in a tour that seems to take place to break records.
England and India finished an exciting series last week on five tests marked by tensions between the two parties, which prompted the Indian captain Shubman Gill at some point to describe the behavior of hosts as “what I think does not come in the spirit of the game”.

Boland watched the series and thought that the end of the final test was “a good hour of cricket that you will see it”, but he rejected the idea that Australia will be tempted to rely on the dark arts of the cricket, even if England pursues a similar approach in ashes as against India.

“They can do what they want when they play,” he said. “I think we were quite consistent in the way we have played since I was in and around the team in the past four years.”
Throughout the position of Cummins Pat captain, the Australian male cricket team tried to cross conduct between competitiveness and respect for their opposition.

Despite the accusations of England players according to which the crucial dismissal of Jonny Baistow Last Ashes was against the spirit of the game, Cummins said in June “we want to play hard and just and I think that on my mandate, we are right about each time.”
Boland said Australia will not change their approach this summer. “It will be just anyone who will win these great moments of the matches, and we have match winners with the bat and the ball,” he said. “So yes, if they want to hang out, it’s good, I don’t think it’s going to worry too much of our guys.”
The 36-year-old fast launcher spoke in England for 18 counters at 9.6 in the 2021/22 series, highlighted by his 6-7 at MCG. Having added a hat -trick against the Antilles to his list of achievements last month, he said that he had become an even better melon, especially since he started to focus each year on the performance of Australian summer at home.
“Even if I am at the twilight of my career, I always learn what helps me and what leads me to be able to play 100% each time,” he said.

More than 424,000 tickets – including 75,000 overseas fans – have already been sold for the five test series that begins in Perth in November. Before the long -awaited series last summer against India, 114,000 had been sold at the same time.
Director General of Cricket Australia, Todd Greenberg, said that ticket sales for Perth are seven times what they were this time last year, a place that has established crowd records for India. Eleven of the 20 days of the coming series have already sold.
“The Ashes is a huge brand in itself, I think the cricket brand that England and India have just looked at have been wonderful to watch, and they will help this country,” Greenberg said. “We can’t wait to welcome our English friends with open arms, but we also want to face them.”
