#3 Warner takes on Root
From starting a war of words to landing punches, Australia vice-captain David Warner has done it all when it comes to the Ashes. Ahead of the upcoming series, Warner fired the opening shots by promising 'hatred' and 'war' toward the visitors. England captain Joe Root was quick to respond by saying that his team is not scared of hostile conditions.
Root and Warner go back a long way as far as sledging and mockery are concerned. Ahead of the 2013 Ashes, following Australia's Edgbaston defeat in the ICC Champions Trophy against hosts England, hot head Warner famously punched Root at the Walkabout bar in Birmingham and was consequently suspended for two warm-up games by Cricket Australia.

It did not end there as Warner quipped that the tourists had 'scared eyes' during the first Test in Brisbane in the return series down under. The left-hander has since maintained that he had punched Root because he thought that the England batsman was ridiculing South Africa's Hashim Amla.
