(Reuters) - Australia's cricketers poured their hearts out and shared their Cricket World Cup dreams in a barefoot bonding session at Edgbaston as the champions look to rally in their semi-final clash against England.

Rocked by a spate of injuries and a surprise 10-run loss to South Africa, coach Justin Langer, a self-described "hippy", had his players whip their socks and shoes off for a lap of a ground that has not produced overwhelming success for Australian teams.
