Warne puts positive spin on Aussies’ Ashes struggle

Richard Gibson

Legendary leg-spinner Warne, 36 next month, used his customary guile in the build-up to today's fourth Test at Trent Bridge by promising a fightback and reminding England skipper Michael Vaughan's men they are level at 1-1 despite dominating to date.

Although Warne admits England have not allowed his side to operate at their usual high standards, he suggests they will rue not being ahead after failing to be so by a solitary wicket in Manchester last week.
