Australian veteran off-spinner Nathan Lyon is confident in the abilities of his team and believes that the Australian team have what it takes to win the Ashes away from home after a long wait of almost two decades.

Australia had a close run of winning the Ashes last time around as they managed to get an upper hand over England throughout the series but the hosts managed to come back strong in the final game to level the series 2-2.
