Beaumont backs chances of upsetting Aussie 'aura'
ENGLAND batter Tammy Beaumont believes there is "no tougher challenge" than trying to defeat Australia in their own backyard ahead of the Women's Ashes beginning this weekend.
The Southern Stars' run all-conquering ended in October with their failure to retain the T20 World Cup but they hold sway over England, who have not toppled their old rivals in a multiformat series since 2014.
The teams could not be separated in an exhilarating draw in England 18 months ago, although Australia are a more formidable force at home, where they have not lost a biltaeral ODI series for 38 years.
Beaumont insisted England are up for the fight starting on Saturday with the first of three ODIs, followed by three T20s then a single four-day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground even if she accepts facing Australia on their own patch is one of the most difficult engagements in sport.
