“Will be fine, we have played a lot of cricket with them – Cricket and IPL districts.

“You can look at their eyes and congratulate them but when you will go to the ash series against them, the last thing you want is that they feel confident and wave the trophy on your face before you even get there,” Wood added.
Both parties will play the first test starting December 8 at Gabba.
