We’re Playing For Ashes; They’re Playing For Moral Victory: Warner Mocks England's 'Bazball'

By IANS News October 13, 2025 • 12:56 PM View: 296

World Test Championship: Former Test opener David Warner has dismissed suggestions that England’s “Bazball” approach will influence the outcome of the Ashes in favour of the visiting side, backing hosts Australia to retain the urn.

England haven’t won an Ashes series since 2015. They haven’t won a Test in Australia since 2011. Warner made a bold prediction that Australia will win the Ashes 3-1 even if skipper Pat Cummins misses the opening Test in Perth.

Speaking at Kayo Sports and Fox Sports’ Summer of Cricket launch in Parramatta, Warner was asked which team’s style would reign supreme in the Ashes beginning on November 21 in Perth. “The Australian way because we’re playing for the Ashes and they’re playing for a moral victory,” he said. “There’s your headline.”
