I'm not a soft touch... you can't succeed for England without being tough, insists Buttler

Jos Buttler is more the man of steel than Mr Nice Guy... and wants Australia crushed 4-1

INTERVIEW BY LAWRENCE BOOTH: There's more steel to Jos Buttler than meets the eye. He has refused to let his first taste of Ashes success distract him from his lack of runs, and he knows - without being prompted - that England have never beaten Australia four times in a home summer. Yes, he's been pleased with his glovework, and he allows himself a grin when he recalls Stuart Broad's impromptu 'How you doing, Ashes winner?' after England went 3-1 up in Nottingham on Saturday. The implications of the question are yet to sink in. But, whatever you do, don't for a moment suggest Buttler is too nice to prosper at the highest level.

From Ashes to Ashington: Why former fast bowler Steve Harmison swapped cricket to be boss

CRAIG HOPE: When England regained The Ashes, Mark Wood took the winning wicket. The night before, Ashington-born paceman Wood spoke to 2005 Ashes hero Steve Harmison for advice. Harmison, though, was not at Trent Bridge on that glorious Saturday. The former England fast bowler was 160 miles away in Sunderland in a much less glamorous sporting role - manager of non-League Ashington. As Wood lapped up the glory, Harmison, who took 226 wickets in a seven-year Test career, was standing outside the dressing rooms of Washington FC, explaining to one of his players why he had been dropped for the season opener.
