Birmingham, June 30: Unthinkable to an ordinary Australian, John Buchanan has revealed that he has shared with England coach Andy Flower some of the secrets of his long association with Ricky Ponting’s men which could be used in the home team’s advantage in the Ashes beginning July 8.
Buchanan, who guided Australia to a whitewash in the last Ashes has arrived here after agreeing to an England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) deal to work as a coaching consultant.
“I provided (Flower) with some of my thoughts. I’ve been keeping a bit of a gaze on the Ashes build-up from a far and passed on a few things I’ve picked up as an observer now removed from the team,” Buchanan said.
“We also talked about England’s trip to Belgium, which was something I took a fair bit of interest in.
