Stuart Broad: I would love an Australian to guide England to Ashes win

London: England fast bowler Stuart Broad said on Sunday he is relishing the prospect of an Australian guiding England to an Ashes win.

Trevor Bayliss is the first ever Australian to coach England and his first test as the manager will be in the five-match Ashes series scheduled to start on July 8 in Cardiff. Daniel Bell-Drummond steadies Kent against Australia

“I love the fact he’s Australian, and could potentially take the Ashes away from Australia, to see a picture of an Aussie with the Three Lions on his chest, Ashes urn in his hand, that would be beautiful,” Broad was quoted as saying by bbc.com on Sunday.

“I quite like that sort of banter involved in the series.” Shane Warne warns James Anderson, Stuart Broad of Australian sledging

Buoyed by a One-Day International (ODI) series victory over World Cup finalists New Zealand, England have travelled to Spain for a four-day trip with Bayliss.

Broad added they would want to beat Australia with a smile on their faces and not by sledging them. Ryan Harris claims he is fit for Ashes 2015

“You have seen in the past couple of months guys playing with smiles on their faces and playing aggressive, free-flowing, positive cricket, and that is how we will beat Australia,” Broad said.

“We won’t beat them by out-sledging them.” Shaun Marsh unequipped to handle swinging ball; could get exposed during Ashes 2015
