'We're playing for the Ashes'

"The Australian way because we're playing for the Ashes and they're playing for a moral victory. There's your headline," Warner stated at the launch event.

"I'll just stick with 4-nil. I think 4-nil. There's going to be a washout somewhere; it's generally Sydney. 4-nil. It's going to be a great series. All dependent on the captain (Pat Cummins). If the captain doesn't play, they might win one game. If Cummo's (Cummins) there, 4-nil. If not, they probably win one game only," he added. 

Warner, who has been involved in many Ashes games during his career, cautioned Australia against provoking England captain Ben Stokes. Despite not wanting Australia to poke Stokes, he admitted that a little bit of a banter would be nice. Citing his staggering average of over 50, Warner welcomed the move of getting Marnus Labuschagne back. He also backed the idea of Sam Konstas opening the batting alongside Usman Khawaja.

For the unversed, England has not won the Ashes since 2015. 

To make matters worse, England have not won a single Test match in Australia since 2011. Given Australia's record against England in Australia, the hosts will start favourites without any doubts.
