Last month Australia's vice-captain David Warner likened the forthcoming Ashes cricket series against England to "war" whilst adding that he was looking for some "hatred" to motivate himself and his team-mates. Hyperbolic language perhaps, but there's no doubt that the atmosphere in Brisbane will be extremely hostile towards the English when the first test gets under way on November 23. Former England cricketer Graeme Swann played 18 times against the Aussies, eight of them in Australia. So when he says the Ashes is 'all in the mind', does he believe England are prepared for the mental challenge coming their way?
