(Reuters) - Australia opener David Warner has fired a salvo ahead of the Ashes against England, likening the series to a "war" and saying the hosts would work up some "hatred" for their opponents to get in the right frame of mind.

Warner also said he did not regret comments he made during the first Ashes test at the Gabba in 2013 about England having "scared eyes", adding that he fully expected more words to be exchanged during the coming series.
