Paul Collingwood Ashes Diary: England believe they can get back into the series


In his latest exclusive Sporting Life Ashes video diary, Paul Collingwood talks about the 'pint incident' and defends England's decision to allow players to rest up ahead of the Third Test.

The aftermath of their second Test defeat, which saw them fall 2-0 down in the series, was dominated by England Lions batsman Ben Duckett being suspended for pouring a drink over James Anderson's head.

Collingwood has offered his unique spin on the controversy, which has been played down by Anderson, and questioned why anyone would waste a pint costing the equivalent of £10!

Collingwood also reflects on how England have prepared for the third Test and believes rest and recovery has left the players feeling fully recharged.

Collingwood also has his say on the media Down Under before signing off by saying "we want to beat these Aussies. It's as simple as that."
