The Australian captain Ricky Ponting has said that the team is only thinking of winning the Ashes on home soil. Last year, England has registered an empathic Ashes series win over the Australian team. That was second time in Ponting's career that Australia has encountered an Ashes series defeat.
In 2006-07 season, Australia has posted a 5-0 whitewash of the Ashes series. Now the Australia skipper is anticipating repeating the same in this season.
But this time it has become a tough task for him. Because the English team is quite confident and much composed.
They had recently defeated the Aussies in the Twenty20 World Cup final to clinch the title.
So they are a much confident side now. It had also beaten the Aussies in the first ODI.
Although the ODI series is on between the two nations but all eyes on the prestigious Ashes series. Both the teams are hoping to produce a good show in this series.
