Geoffrey Boycott is not feeling optimistic about England 's chances of regaining the Ashes next year following their disappointing innings defeat to South Africa.
England were completely blown away by South Africa's bowling attack as they slumped to an innings defeat inside three days. Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje starred for the Proteas with a quality display of express pace bowling as the pair picked up match figures of 7-79 and 6-110 respectively.
And Boycott believes England's struggles against Rabada and Nortje do not bode well ahead of them facing a potent Australia seam attack next year, with Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood all brilliant bowlers capable of reaching speeds over 90mph.
