'Can't see them performing': Darren Lehmann raises Bazball 'questions' ahead of Ashes

Darren Lehmann believes there are still "questions" over whether England's aggressive tactics will work on Australian soil this summer.

Since the arrival of Brendon McCullum as coach, England has adopted an approach widely referred to as 'Bazball' and has had mixed results.

While it didn't help them win the Ashes at home two years ago, McCullum's men have been able to defeat other Test-playing nations with their style of play.

Their next assignment will come against India in the middle of the year, where England will be heavy favourites in the blockbuster series.

However, according to the former Aussie coach, it's unlikely to work later in 2025.

"England will win at home, that's just what happens," Lehmann told Sky Sports News.

"India are a good cricket team, but England will win. I've no fear of that. I don't think they'll lose a game ... For me, England will dominate and a put a lot of questions to bed.

"But then they get to Australia where the real questions start. They haven't won a Test in Australia for something like 15 years, so it's going to have to be a big turnaround."

Lehmann's comments come after retired opener David Warner shut down suggestions England could regain the urn away from home.

With a star-studded bowling attack, Australia will be very confident of keeping cricket's most famous prize in its ever-growing trophy cabinet.

"David knows the game very well," Lehmann said.

"Bazball works on flat wickets, no question about that ... but as soon as the wicket does anything it doesn't really work. England are a very good cricket side to watch, but it will be interesting to see if the pitches do a bit more.

"I can't see them performing under that sort of pressure."
