The former England cricket captain Nasser Hussain expects the sledging to continue in the Ashes series despite Jonathan Trott's departure from the tour with a stress-related illness.
Play on the fourth day at the Gabba was especially heated, with Australia captain Michael Clarke fined for the telling England tail end batsman James Anderson to prepare for a broken arm.
Asked if he felt the series may now calm down a bit in light of Trott's exit, Hussain was doubtful, saying it was an Ashes series and doesn't expect it to be played any differently.
