London (AFP) - England will face the ultimate test of their stated desire to play bold and aggressive cricket as they bid to regain the Ashes from Australia in a five-match series that starts in Cardiff on Wednesday.With their new Australian coach, Trevor Bayliss, telling them the only way they can defeat the Aussies is to "fight fire with fire", England have certainly talked a good game as they look to turn the tables on an Australia side who beat their arch-rivals 5-0 during the last Ashes series 'Down Under' in 2013/14.But can England match the aggression of Australia and will they have to if they are to win the series?On paper, at least, Australia -- even after Ryan Harris's injury-induced retirement on Saturday -- have quicker bowlers in the likes of left-armers Mitchell Johnson and Mitchell Starc than England's new-ball duo of James Anderson and Stuart Broad.And with their top order boasting the likes of dynamic opener David Warner, Steven Smith, now the number one ranked batsman in Test cricket, and captain Michael Clarke, Australia also appear to have a faster scoring top order than England's leading quartet of Adam Lyth, skipper Alastair Cook, Gary Ballance and Ian Bell, who have been accused of being 'one-paced' batsmen. Nevertheless number five Joe Root has often shown he's comfortable upping the tempo -- something for which England should be grateful given Kevin Pietersen's ongoing exile. - 'Haven't kept up' - England were much praised for the attacking manner they displayed during a recent 3-2 one-day series victory over New Zealand, a series Cook missed.Former Sri Lanka and New South Wales coach Bayliss insisted England had to take their white-ball approach into the Test arena. "The way the game has been played over the last five or 10 years you could argue that maybe we haven't kept up to date as some of the other teams," he said. "Whether you like it or not the T20 format and the one-day format do have a bearing on the way the game is played at Test level.

Misconfigured endpoints, rogue security certificates, and weak passwords have all caused or risked the exposure of sensitive data, and Microsoft has been criticized by security researchers, US lawmakers, and regulatory agencies for how it has responded to and disclosed these threats.
