England are unlikely to tinker with their side for the second Ashes test against Australia starting in Brisbane next week despite being thumped in the opening match, their former fast bowler James Anderson said.
England deployed a pace heavy attack in Perth and bowled out the hosts for 132 in their first innings, with skipper Ben Stokes picking up five wickets, but they went on lose the extraordinary clash inside two days.
A Travis Head knock in the second innings took the sting out of the tourists' bowling unit with the Australia opener scoring the only century of the match to script an eight-wicket win.
"The all-pace attack 100 per cent worked in the first innings. We landed a few blows," England's all-time leading test wicket-taker Anderson said on the BBC's Tailenders podcast.
"I think that will be in their heads and I would not be surprised at all if we went with the same side.
"I just wonder whether we lack a nuance with a bit of something different and a change of pace, whether that is a spinner or a slightly different pacer."
Australia's pacemen tore through England's batting order twice to set up a modest chase of 205, which they completed late on day two, and Anderson said the bowling unit became more predictable as the match progressed.
"Head knew they were bowling short, so he just sat on the back foot and hit his areas," the 43-year-old added.
"There was no frontline spinner to just bowl four overs and change the pace of the game and make it slightly different for Head and give him something else to think about."
England have won only three series in Australia in the last 50 years, the last in 2010-11. They have not won a single test match Down Under since.
