Former England player Monty Panezal said it was more difficult for him to play in front of the crowd in Luton's youth cricket match compared to playing Ashes in Australia.

In his column for the Daily Telegraph, Panesa wrote that it is a myth that England is "softer" than Australia-and called it hypocrisy.

"Australia is a hostile environment. The weather, wildlife, and-yes-cricket fans are going all out, or at least that's how it feels," Panezal wrote.

"As far as the supporters are concerned, they increase the pressure and keep going until you crash. If you complain, they will say, "I'm sorry, buddy, this is just a joke. If you fight back, it will be "Oh my God, you went too far, man." "It's all hard but fair until the moment you react."

He added: "There is an assumption that the British players are softer than the Australian players, but they have obviously never played cricket in the Luton League. As far as the hostility is concerned, I have not experienced Luton Town and Indians in Australia. The under-16 game between the Men's Team and Hexton CC."

Panezal also claimed that this summer "has the same feeling" as the 2010-11 series, with England winning 3-1 in Australia.

He said the turmoil in the Australian camp caused by Tim Paine’s pornography scandal and the commotion caused by Justin Langer’s work as coach earlier this year have made the team as "unstable as it was 10 years ago." ".

At the same time, Tim Wigmore of the "Daily Telegraph" picked the Australian team and the potential weaknesses that England could take advantage of.

He wrote that Cameron Green was a “batterer who can bowl” rather than an all-around player because he has not participated in a test wicket.

Wigmore also specifically mentioned Nathan Lyon, who only scored 9 wickets in the game against India last summer with a score of 55.1.

He wrote that India’s attitude towards Lyon, especially Rishab Pant’s attitude, laid out a blueprint for how Ngan should face him this summer.

"Ben Stokes is the most likely option for England to attack Lyon. Although Stokes is a left-hander, he averaged 52.3 points per game against him in Tests. In the Ashes Test last winter and 2019 , Some people think that the length of Lyon may be disrupted," Wigmore wrote.

"Pant and India's other batting lineups performed particularly well when kicking the ball with their feet: at the end of the 2020-21 series, India scored 163 of 177 goals and only lost two wickets. In response to India walking off the court, Lyon often lost.

"Joe Root's extraordinary backspin play will also become an asset to disrupt Lyon. Jonny Bairstow likes to attack in the outer spin, which is why England prefers him to Ollie Pope. The reason for number six."
