Webber has admitted that he will have one eye on proceedings in Cardiff this weekend, as the Australian cricket team begins the defence of the Ashes, but knows that he will have to keep his bias under control through the remainder of the summer.
"When you are representing Australia, the message is clear - you never ever give up and you fight for every inch that you can get," he revealed, "I race with the Australian coat of arms on the back of my helmet, but the UK is my adopted home and I've spent a lot of time with my English partner Ann, so I have to be a bit careful.
"I love English comedy and the people and it's a beautiful part of the world but, when it comes to sport, I don't support England at all. I reckon this Ashes series is going to be pretty close, but I honestly believe the Australians will come through and keep hold of the little urn."
