BEEFY SAYS GO FOR THE RIBS!

'Blitz Aussies & blow them away like Windies did'

- ISOBEL DICKINSON

ASHES legend Sir Ian Botham is urging England's bowlers to bash Australia "in the ribs".

Cricket icon Beefy wants the tourists to mimic the West Indies' fearsome '80s front line and blitz the Aussies with fierce fast bowling.

The Test icon said the all-out pace attack the Windies rolled out back then should be the blueprint for England when the Ashes begins in Perth next week.
