Craig HillAshes banter begins
May 5th 2006 14:45
With the next Ashes series to be held in Australia during November this year, you may think that it is still a little while before we begin to hear about the banter and gobfuls of sledging between the rival nations. However, English, born South African batsman Kevin Pieterson has already fired the first warning shots by lashing out at the Aussies for accusing the English side for being a 'one-man team', saying that the Poms can't win without Andrew 'Freddy' Flintoff.
Pieterson argues that the statements made by the Australians were hyprocritical due to the fact that Shane Warne was their sole player to carry the side in the previous Ashes series, quoting that the series outcome 'would have been 4-1, if it hadn't of been for Warne'.
The early exchange of words is great for the game, and great for the Ashes - it goes to show how much tension there is between the sides.
