Townsville (Australia), Nov 14 (Cricketnmore): With cricket pundits predicting another humiliation of England in the upcoming Ashes series, an unfazed skipper Joe Root said his side is better prepared to take on the hostile hosts and wiser than they were four years ago.

The Englishmen were thrashed 0-5 during the 2013-14 Ashes in Australia, which has once again fuelled talks of yet another humiliation for the tourists in the upcoming five-match rubber, starting on November 23 at the Gabba in Brisbane.
