David Cameron tweets England Ashes support

British Prime Minister David Cameron has given his support to the England cricket team ahead of tonight's first Ashes Test in Brisbane.

The tourists, led by captain Alastair Cook, are looking to win their fourth consecutive series against Australia.

England's last triumph over the Aussies was a 3-0 series victory on home turf over the summer.

Best of luck to Alastair Cook and England as they look for the 1st back-to-back Ashes series victories in Australia in 80yrs. @ECB_cricket
