With The Ashes 2023 just around the corner, Wisden Cricket Monthly writers and a host of other expert commentators have made their predictions for the upcoming series. Despite some differences in opinion, many of the predictions suggest a close-fought battle between England and Australia.
For the men’s series, many predict a 2-3 victory for Australia, with their strong attack and Cameron Green’s promising form highlighted as key factors. However, others see England edging it, with their formidable middle order and the potential return of Ben Stokes tipped to make the difference.
The women’s series is expected to be equally competitive, with Australia predicted to take the victory, but England expected to push harder than in recent times. Nat Sciver-Brunt and Tahlia McGrath have been identified as potential standout performers.
Regardless of the predictions, all parties involved are hoping for an entertaining and competitive series, with both sides expected to enjoy their golfing breaks and discussions – something that has become a staple of the Ashes series. Whatever the outcome, audiences can expect high-quality cricket from two fiercely competitive sides.
