The Ashes is all set to burn again in November in Down Under, but sparks of the fire are already visible. Now, Australian coach Darren Lehmann came forward with his words for Joe Root and company. Lehmann said his bowlers will try to intimidate English batting line-up.

He believes it will be interesting to see how they will cope Australia’s star pace battery. “It’ll be interesting. They’ll have to cope with that, they know it’s coming. Our quicks have been saying that,” he said. “We can (intimidate England’s batsmen). They (Starc and Cummins) can certainly enforce some problems … especially (for) their middle and lower order on the bouncy tracks. They didn’t like it last time.”

The former Aussie player thinks playing home is an advantage and said “We know the conditions. It bounces a lot. It’s a totally different ball game than it is in England.”

He was in full praise for his bowling line-up while concluding his saying. “Really comfortable with where we’re at as a bowling attack. The ‘GOAT’ (Nathan Lyon) has been probably the best-performed bowler for us for the last 12 months. I’m sure those guys can deliver, they’ve been very good at getting 20 wickets over the past 12 or 15 Test matches,” Coach added.

Prior, Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins warned England batsmen for a barrage of short-pitch deliveries in the marquee clash. However, former Englishman Kevin Pietersen urges Kangaroos to come with something new and bouncer tactic has been very old.

The spark will give ashes another life from November 23 in Brisbane’s Gabba, when both teams will fight for the biggest battle in the world cricket.
