We are very much looking forward to taking them on in our own backyard.” Though Collingwood and the England players are mindful of Australia’s potency, they didn’t bother watching much of the WTC final to glean further knowledge of their opponents. There’s a very consistent message from us to keep the game plan going and to keep entertaining.” Regardless of which team lifts the urn at the end of the Ashes, England’s approach has emboldened others to try and replicate the style of play.
