Strauss: Aussies have no aura

Andrew Strauss has claimed the Australians do not have the same feel about the team as when England have faced them in previous Ashes series. The England captain implied the retirement of Aussie legends such as Glenn McGrath, Shane Warne, Matthew Hayden and Adam Gilchrist has left the current side looking deflated. He remarked: "This team may over time develop an aura but right at the moment it has got a lot of players right at the start of their Test careers."Strauss went on to say this lack of aura was "encouraging" for the home side, although he did compliment the skills of the present Aussie squad. A draw is considered the most likely outcome of the third Ashes Test, which is due to start today (July 30th), with Blue Square(Go to Blue Square ») offering odds of 8/11 on this happening. Those looking to bet on England can find them at 47/10 with WBX(Go to WBX »).
