Ashes 2023: Kevin Pietersen makes brutal assessment on England's pace attack

"There's a reason why the bowlers targeted in there (short deliveries) because we do feel, well everybody feels he (Travis Head) has an issue. And I don't mean to be disrespectful at all to the single bowling lineup but they're (England pacers) not to be feared. And I'll say that from a pace-wise perspective where you've got guys bowling at 80 miles an hour, 83 miles an hour. You don't have Mitchell Johnson running in at 95 or Shoaib Akhtar, or even Woody (Mark Wood). Woody will run in and he will test you?" HT quoted Pietersen saying during an interaction on Sky Sports.

His sense of theatre, his sense of occasion, his sense of when to lift his game, and his sense of how to get great players out is second to none."

Ashes 2023 Live: Stuard Broad says Aussies have a ‘lot of danger to come’

In an interaction with Sky Sports, England pacer Stuard Broad said, "It's all set up to be a fantastic day. We're obviously delighted to have Warner, Marnus and Smith back in the pavilion because they're world-class players. But we know the Aussies have got a lot of danger to come so we've got to be right on the money," 
"I don't think any batter is going to come in and say it's a fantastic pitch to bat on. It's turgid and hard to time the ball on. And no bowler's going to say it's not carrying or moving particularly. It's a hard working pitch, you've got to create pressure and hit the pitch as hard as you can," Broad added
