   Australian Ashes Team Struggles with Injuries Ahead of Cricket Series Jeremy Zakis The conversation revolves around the upcoming Ashes cricket contest in Perth between Australia and England. Jeremy Zakis expresses anxiety over the increasing injury list plaguing the Australian side, noting that key all-rounder Cameron Green sustained a back injury and may miss the first Test. Captain Pat Cummins is also likely to miss the first, and possibly the second, game due to shoulder injuries. John Batchelor suggests the Australian team might be "too old" and relying on a conservative style of cricket, contrasting with England's aggressive "Bazball" approach. Although early betting suggested England was favored, updated odds now show Australia as the clear favorite (1.71 odds) due to the advantage of hosting the games in their familiar hot summer environment. 1858 NSW
