Bring on Eng sledging during Ashes: Boland
England's thrilling home series against India ended in a 2-2 draw this month and was notable for several feisty encounters between the two sides.
Boland, speaking 100 days out from the first Ashes Test in Perth, said he had enjoyed watching England and India battle it out.
He shrugged off the prospect of Ben Stokes's England being similarly confrontational during the five Ashes Tests.
"They can do whatever they want when they're playing," said the 36-year-old Boland, who has played 14 Tests and took a hat-trick last month in a 3-0 series win in the West Indies.
Australia have been known to give as good as they get down the years, although they have tempered that aggression somewhat under captain Pat Cummins and attempted to tread a fine line.
"I think we've been pretty consistent in the way we've played since I've been in and around the squad the last four years. Nothing much has changed in how we play our cricket," Boland said.
"Even going forward, it's just going to be whoever wins those big moments in the games. We've got match-winners with the bat and with the ball.
"So yeah, if they want to sledge, that's fine. I don't think it's going to worry our guys too much."
Controversy swirled over the previous Ashes series in England in 2023 after Jonny Bairstow was stumped by Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey in the second Test at Lord's when the Englishman walked out of his crease, believing the ball was dead.
The coming Ashes Tests are set to play out in front of big crowds in Australia, with Cricket Australia CEO Todd Greenberg saying that interest in the series between the old rivals had been "off the charts".
"This will be the biggest sports event in Australia this year," said Greenberg.

Root plans to end Ashes drought
England batter Joe Root said his experience of 158 tests makes him better equipped than ever to end a victory drought in Australia, as he ramps up preparations for the upcoming Ashes series. Root, who moved to second on the all-time test run-scorer charts during England's five-match series against India, which was drawn 2-2 earlier this month, has accumulated 13,543 runs in tests, trailing only India great Sachin Tendulkar (15,921). Despite his prolific record, the 34-year-old Root has yet to win a test or score a test century in Australia, where he averages 35.68 from 27 innings with nine half-centuries. "Having played in Australia a couple of times before, now going with 150-odd test caps under my belt, I feel I couldn't be more ready for it," Root told British media on Thursday. "The thing that stands out for me is I probably wanted it (a century) way too much the last couple of times. It took me away from what was important." Australia won both the 2017-18 series and following home series in 2021-22 4-0 before drawing 2-2 in England in 2023 to retain the urn. England last triumphed in Australia in 2010-11, which is also the last time the tourists won a test Down Under. "There were a lot of distractions," Root said of the last two Ashes series in Australia. "I was captain, COVID (in 2021-22), there was the (Ben) Stokes incident the time before that (when Stokes was ruled out of the 2017-18 tour after an incident at a Bristol nightclub), the Jonny (Bairstow) headbutt incident as well. "This time I want to just go and enjoy the tour for what it is. It is a beautiful country it is a great place to go and play cricket. I know if I put my best performances in then everything else will look after itself." This year's Ashes begins in Perth on November 21 before a day-night match in Brisbane, the third test in Adelaide and the traditional Melbourne and Sydney tests in December and January.

Maxwell ready for added responsibility
Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell is prepared to take on added responsibility as the team ramps up preparations for next year's ICC Men's T20 World Cup. With the tournament set to be co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka, Maxwell has been focusing on improving his bowling inside the Powerplay to make the most of sub-continental conditions. "I think in the sub-continent you might be able to get a little bit more out of it as a spinner early on. Especially that new ball, the hard seam, being able to grip on those dry surfaces," Maxwell told reporters in Cairns ahead of the third T20I against South Africa. "So it might be something we think about heading forward," he added. The 36-year-old has experience bowling in the Powerplay, most notably during the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 final, where he dismissed Rohit Sharma to help set the stage for Australia's record sixth title. In the current T20I series against the Proteas, Maxwell has bowled two overs in the Powerplay, making a big impact in the second match with two crucial wickets - including that of South Africa captain Aiden Markram. "I'm just as surprised as anyone when I get a wicket. I love getting wickets," he said. "It's very surprising anytime I get anyone out. I'm there to do a job in the Powerplay and I'm trying to execute that as well as I can." The right-handed batter also spoke about his flexible batting role, having batted at No.5 in the second T20I after coming in at No.7 in the first. This follows a stint as an opener in four of the five T20Is against the West Indies. "I've been a bit of a shuffler around the order, up and down. I'm filling holes at the moment," Maxwell explained. "Even during the West Indies series, I went up the order to counter Akeal Hosein; in this series, I've gone lower to manage the back end of the innings. I'm just trying to play whatever role is needed and be as adaptable as possible."With the series level at 1-1, Australia and South Africa will meet in the decider on August 16.

Bring on Eng sledging during Ashes: Boland
Australia fast bowler Scott Boland said on Wednesday that the hosts will be unfazed by any England aggression when the Ashes rivals clash later this year.
