5 England players to watch out for in the Ashes

Cook will be aiming to set right his poor performance in England's last tour of Australia

#2 James Anderson

Anderson's pace has slowed down, and he will be relying on swing rather than bounce

The "King of Swing" is one of the most lethal bowlers of all time - with 500+ wickets, tons of experience in these conditions, and the ability to swing the ball both ways, it will be a challenge for Australian batsman to counter him.

Anderson is the No. 1 bowler in the world in Test cricket, and his partnership with Stuart Broad has been the downfall for many a batsman. He has an uncanny ability to reverse the old ball, something he said he learnt from Zaheer Khan.

With a menacing arsenal at his disposal, he will surely trouble the Australian batsman, and his partnership with Stuart Broad could well decide the fate of this Ashes.
