Can Ben Stokes be the hero again?

Despite losing the Ashes series, the summer of 2019 was great for Ben Stokes. In the One Day game, he was integral in England winning the World Cup. There was then that incredible afternoon at Headingley.

Last time in Australia 

The 2017/2018 series was basically a disaster for England. They lost the series 4-0, only drawing the fourth test. A rare England highlight came in that test when Alistair Cook hit an unbeaten 244. 

Is it coming home?

Winning the series will be a big ask for England. Their recent test form has been very inconsistent. This included a defeat against New Zealand. Getting a settled team together will be crucial as preparation for the series starts to increase.

Following a number ODI's and T20 matches, England have a five match series against India. This will be the last chance England get to play in this format before travelling down under.

Who won the Transfer Window?

The transfer window is closed until January 1st.  Who had the best window though? Were there any major losers? Manchester United United strengthened their defence with the signing of Varane and brought some extra quality with the signings of Jadon Sancho and the returning hero Cristiano Ronaldo. Critics would argue that they are still a world class defensive midfielder away from leading the charge in domestic and European competitions.
