Former Australia captain Tim Paine wary of England's aggressive intent

Adelaide, Dec 11 (UNI) Australia hold a commanding 2-0 lead heading into the third Ashes Test starting on December 17, following convincing wins in Perth and Brisbane.
England’s aggressive “Bazball” method has faltered under Australian conditions with the visitors’ approach falling flat against an Australian lineup that was missing multiple key players like Pat Cummins, who makes a return in the third Test, Josh Hazlewood, who's ruled out of the series and Nathan Lyon.
On the other hand, England will also be without the services of Mark Wood for the rest of the series. But Tim Paine believes that Adelaide’s traditionally truer bounce and slower deterioration could play directly into England’s strengths.
