Lets face it, they had such a long time of superiority over England in cricket so it is bound to be a hard bitter pill to swallow to see us moving into a position to win the Ashes for a long time to come.

He could not keep his mouth shut even if he tried but l suppose its his way of rallying the Australian public into deluding that they have a chance in this series.

Openers Alastair Cook and Michael Carberry shone with unbeaten centuries as England made 318 without loss on the first day of their four-day Ashes warm-up game against Australia A in Hobart.

Early days yet of course but it seems like mighty mouth Warne may just have emulated what his rugby union compatriot Eddie Jones did prior to the 2003 RWC final and done England's team talk for them... :D

Let's hope they can carry this form forward into the Ashes series.
