The 2015 Ashes series in England will not be a cakewalk for Australia, warns Jason Gillespie. The former Aussie fast bowler feels the young talent coming through the England ranks pose the biggest threat.

He said: “What’s really pleasing is a number of young lads in this England side that I think are very skilful cricketers with good heads on their shoulders.

"I think in time, if they’re given time by the England selectors, I’m confident they’ll come good.

“In next year’s Ashes, everyone’s talking about Australia coming over and it’ll be a bloodbath, I certainly don’t see it that way at all.

“Australia will deservedly start as favourites, rightly so, but I don’t think it’s going to be a walk in the park".
