Beard of the Ashes 2019 poll launches with some good news for England
The Beard Liberation Front has said that the Beard of the 2019 Ashes is on-line after an initial assessment of the teams at Edgbaston.
While England haven’t bearded the Australians at Edgbaston there is some good news as England players are currently shaving the Aussies for the Beard of the Ashes title
The campaigners say that things have moved on significantly since the last Home Beard of the Ashes poll in 2015.
Then former England captain Sir Alastair Cook and fast bowler Mark Wood tied for the coveted accolade of Beard of the Ashes 2015.
The highest ranked Australian player in 2015 was Nathan Lyon. His beard while adequate was inconsistent in terms of impact and delivery over the Five Match series.
In general the Australian team in 2015 made the serious error of becoming more clean shaven with each match, with David Warner shaving his moustache before the Oval game.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, unlike in 2015 Australia are now at the Beard of the Ashes poll in 2019 with batsmen David Warner and Matthew Wade contenders while neither of the two England winners in 2015 will feature in 2019
The poll is open now and the winner will be announced on the Sunday of the final Oval Test in September
