Australian batsman David Warner says playing England is "war" and he plans to work up "hatred" for the tourists for extra motivation during the upcoming Ashes series. During the first Test in Brisbane in 2013, Warner famously said England had "s cared eyes" when facing Australia's pace attack and he is firing similar salvoes ahead of their arrival later this month. "The history, the pride that is at stake. As soon as you step on that line it's war," Warner told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation yesterday, when asked what the Ashes meant to him.
