AUS vs ENG Ashes Test<\/strong>: Mind games are as important as executing cricket skills when the senior men's teams of Australia and England clash in the Ashes series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The mind games are played in the build-up to the series, during the matches and even off the field during breaks between the matches to continue to build the pressure on the opponents.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The Australians are past masters in this and every current and former player gets involved in playing mind games with the opponents.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

That is what some members of the current Australian team did after winning the first Test of the 2023 Ashes series at Edgbaston in Birmingham.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The Australian team went on to celebrate their dramatic two-wicket victory in the thrilling Test at the same pub where David Warner had punched England's Joe Root during a drunken brawl a few years back.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Australia won the first Test, which was disrupted by rain early in the morning and was won came late in the evening, thanks mainly to an unfinished half-century partnership between skipper Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon for the ninth wicket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Australian cricket players have been spotted celebrating their thrilling Ashes victory in the pub where David Warner punched Joe Root almost exactly a decade ago -- and some English fans are furious," the Daily Mail reported<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"It's been 10 years since the infamous incident when Australia's fiery opener whacked the England batsman in Birmingham's Walkabout bar following Australia's Champions Trophy defeat at Edgbaston," the report said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

According to reports, Warner wasn't one of the players at the pub, but Ashes hero Nathan Lyon was pictured with a beer or two.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The Barmy Army, who have made the Walkabout their official headquarters for the week, were not happy with the news.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"This is all-out war now," posted the Barmy Army Twitter account late on Wednesday. "The Aussies celebrated yesterday's win in our HQ for the week. Apologies @WalkaboutBrum, we'll make sure it's full for the 2nd Test."<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Image-Of-Ashes-2023-Mind-Games-go-on-as-Australian-players-celebrate-at-the-pub-where-Warner-punched-Root.jpg", "alt_img": "Ashes 2023: Mind Games Go On As Australian Players Celebrate At The Pub Where Warner Punched Root", "alt_title": "Ashes 2023: Mind Games Go On As Australian Players Celebrate At The Pub Where Warner Punched Root", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Ashes 2023: Mind Games Go On As Australian Players Celebrate At The Pub Where Warner Punched Root On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "AUS vs ENG Ashes Test: Mind games are as important as executing cricket skills when the senior men's teams of, Ashes 2023: Mind Games Go On As Australian Players Celebrate At The Pub Where Warner Punched Root.", "seo_keywords": " David Warner, Joe Root, Barmy Army", "tag": null, "tagging": " David Warner,Joe Root,Barmy Army,", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "story-of-ashes-2023-mind-games-go-on-as-australian-players-celebrate-at-the-pub-where-warner-punched-root", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "1", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1305", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2023-06-22 10:30:37", "updated": "2023-06-22 10:30:37", "img_from": "Image Source: Google", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Barmy Army, Joe Root, David Warner", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "0", "google_feed": "0", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "37", "jio_date": "2023-06-22 10:30:37", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": "Select", "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/story-of-ashes-2023-mind-games-go-on-as-australian-players-celebrate-at-the-pub-where-warner-punched-root-124794" }
