England bowlers excited

ASHES: CARSE SAYS THE UNIT IS READY FOR THE AUSTRALIAN CONDITIONS

- 

England’s fast bowling cartel are relishing playing in Australian conditions with star quick Jofra Archer in a “happy place” and brimming with confidence while Mark Wood is “full of energy”.

That’s the view of strapping fellow paceman Brydon Carse who is one of six speedsters in the tourists’ squad vying to be in the XI for the first Test starting in Perth on Friday.

Gus Atkinson, Matthew Potts, and Josh Tongue are the others.

“Look, it’s exciting,” South African-born Carse said after England’s only warm-up game against a second-tier England Lions ended on Saturday.

“I think we've got a group of six bowlers who, whatever dynamic we go with, we're relishing those conditions.”
