The bill was settled online, but the Aussies still feel they have an account outstanding from four years ago: a first Ashes series win in England since 2001. Batting big gun Steve Smith says it's on his bucket list and Cummins said: 'We drew the 2019 series and we've all come back pretty clear we want to win this one.' Cummins has confirmed under-pressure opener David Warner has kept his place for the fourth Test, with Josh Hazlewood replacing Scott Boland in the pace attack. The Aussies have omitted specialist spinner Todd Murphy and recalled all-rounder Cameron Green. It means they go into a Test without a frontline spinner for the first time in 10 years, but bat so far down the order that England will need a submarine to reach the tail. If England will come out swinging, with the latest Bazball moves likely to be funkier than a seventies disco if the Manchester weather lives up to the brochure, Cummins will relish the contest, grinning: 'Hope so – that would be fun. 'We're prepared for anything, really, but we'll just have to see how it plays out. We've already seen a lot of different things from both teams in this series. I'm sure this one will be another cracker with some random stuff thrown up. 'I've never been part of a series){kind=link}
