England have a very good batting line up and comparatively better than ours by some distance. Dont think they will be for once intimidated by our spin in Aussie conditions - even if its in Adelaide.
The only way we can restrict them (if bowling first) to a decent total is by excellent ground fielding and targeting their batsmen weaknesses.
Moeen ali is one batsman we can target early on in the innings. Its well documented he hates playing the short ball. He is always caught in two minds to leave or play it. Get Taskin to bowl a few deliveries targeting his chest at 140k's and then follow it up with a vicious yorker. The key is getting the line of the short ball and yorker length right. Easier said than done.
