Colchester (UK): Australia's Shane Watson shrugged off bouncer taunts from England fast bowler Mark Wood and retaliated by issuing his own Ashes warning to the Durham quick.

With just over a week until the first Test starts in Cardiff, Wood, in a BBC radio interview broadcast Sunday, recalled how he was instructed to bowl bouncers at Watson by the all-rounder's then Australia team-mate Michael Hussey during a net session on the 2009 tour of England. The Durham paceman, who took nine wickets in the recent two-Test series against New Zealand after making his debut at Lord's, said Watson had dismissively labelled him a "net hero" and said he "would love to have a go at me".
