England opener Zak Crawley made a bold statement ahead of the Ashes 2nd Test at Lord's.
Speaking to Times Radio, the 25-year-old batter predicted that the second Ashes Test will be won by England at least by a margin of 150 runs.
"I think we'll win [at Lord's]. I think the pitch will suit us a bit more so I think we'll win by, I don't know, 150 runs?," Crawley told Times Radio.
However, Australia batting coach Michael Di Venuto refused to get drawn into any war of words with England.
'They (England) seem to have a lot to say at the moment. We can't control what they say or do. We will look after ourselves and play the way we play" Di Venuto told reporters at Lords on Saturday.'
England lost the 1st Test against Australia by 2 wickets at Edgbaston.
