NEW DELHI: A rampant England cricket Test side has won 10 out of their last 12 matches since coach Brendon McCullum and skipper Ben Stokes have teamed up and their aggressive style of play dubbed 'Bazball' has been one of the highlights in the past one year.
England have been unable to win the Ashes since 2015 and a got a 0-4 drubbing the last time they met Australia Down Under but pacer Ollie Robinson is confident of a turn around this time.
With this year's Ashes beginning from June 16 in Edgbaston, Robinson sees no reason why the team should'nt feel confident after enjoying a terrific run of form in the longest format.
"The way we're playing cricket at the moment, we feel like we can really stick one on them and win the series comfortably," he told British media on Wednesday. "There's definitely a desire there still, a hunger to put it right.
"I felt when I got back from that trip I didn't leave it all out there and I'd let myself down and the side down a little bit," said Robinson.
"There's a lot of hungry boys this summer wanting to beat the Aussies again ... It's one of the biggest series we play, so why not talk it up?"
England's radical rebrand has yielded results both at home and abroad as they blanked New Zealand 3-0, beat South Africa 2-1 and completed a 3-0 sweep in Pakistan. They lost their last test by one run against New Zealand in Wellington in February.
"We've been dominating teams in all conditions for 12 months now," Robinson said. "In England we dominated, in Pakistan we dominated, and in New Zealand we played most of the cricket for nine days and lost on the last day.
"With Baz and Stokesy leading the side, from one to 11 we have huge confidence and it puts us in a great position for the summer."
