Stuart Broad has selected his preferred England bowling attack for the first Test of this winter’s Ashes against Australia and has prioritised raw pace.

In fact, England haven’t even won a single Test in Australia since that 2010-11 tour and questions remain as to whether their bowling unit has enough quality to consistently take 20 wickets.
