ENGLAND sent out an Ashes warning to the all-powerful Aussies by thrashing them in a T20 international. Australia limped to 79 all out, after collapsing from 23-0 to 31-7 at one stage. England skipper Michael Vaughan took a swipe at the tourists after his side’s 100-run win, and his words proved prophetic. They went on to triumph 2-1 in the greatest Ashes series in living memory.
