Beard of the Ashes 2019 poll wide open as Warner has beard crisis & Moeen dropped
The Beard Liberation Front has said that the Beard of the 2019 Ashes is on-line.
There is all to play for as front runner Moeen Ali has been dropped by England and Australia’s David Warner is suffering a beard crisis after a trim led him to lose form
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, unless Steve Smith grows a beard, which seems unlikely, the coveted Beard of the Ashes title looks wide open
The poll is open now and the winner will be announced on the Sunday of the final Oval Test in September
