As well as training at the Perth Stadium on Tuesday, England's players also posed for their customary pre-series photo shoot.
There was the classic team shot on the outfield, another which reminded of Peaky Blinders' Shelby family and what England fans will hope is not the last time Ben Stokes has his hands on the Ashes urn this winter...

I'm giving it around three overs...

The pitches will have a little bit of movement in them, they have done in the last two tours we've been there. So you do need accuracy, as well as pace.
I think one of the question marks for England will potentially be Ben Stokes - out of that group of bowlers, he is the one bowler that could churn out those spells of accuracy and skill.
But he's also got that injury record hanging over him, so that could be a big part of the series as well.
Stokes is not the only member of the England attack with a lengthy injury record and Anderson expects England to rotate Jofra Archer and Mark Wood, who are both capable of bowling consistently over 90mph.
I think if you're going to play them together, potentially the first Test at Perth, where it's fast and bouncy, you want to get off to a good start in the series so hit them straight away with proper pace.
After that I imagine they'll try and play one of them, and rest and recover the other. That leaves space for Brydon Carse or Gus Atkinson. They're still quick enough, but they've got skill as well, and probably a bit more control than the others.
They're going to have a big part. If England are going to win this series, or have a chance, then the bowling attack has got to be relentlessly good.

A frontline quartet of Gus Atkinson, Jofra Archer, Mark Wood and Brydon Carse, backed up by Ben Stokes.
That may well still be the case but off-spinner Shoaib Bashir is in the squad and, given that Wood seems to have been passed fit, the final decision is likely to be between Carse and Bashir.
If Carse gets the nod, England would still have Joe Root to provide a few overs of spin if really needed.
Here is it then, not the XI, but the 12-man squad from which England will select their team to begin this Ashes series...

Two days out from the start of an Ashes series in Australia and anything is possible.
In 48 hours it could feel so very different. Waking up, checking the score and being hit with that all-too-familiar sinking feeling...
But for now, hope springs eternal as, eight years since they last possessed it, England bid to reclaim the urn.
