Dean Mumm insists Australia can shut out compatriot Eddie Jones jibes ahead of the Wallabies England showdown at Twickenham on Saturday.Mumm fully expects England boss Jones to run the gamut of his box of tricks, but the former Exeter Chiefs lock remains adamant Australia will not be sidetracked by any mind games.Ex-Australia coach Jones fired his first shot straight after Englands win over Argentina on Saturday, hinting at illegal scrum tactics from the Wallabies.Mumm maintains Australia can easily switch off from Jones wily talk however, in their bid to hit back from Saturdays 27-24 defeat to Ireland in Dublin.Im sure Eddies up to his regular tricks but I will try not to make myself aware of it really, because its kind of irrelevant to what we want to do next week, said Mumm. Were not going out there and playing Eddie Jones, were going out there and playing England and theres a whole 23 of them willing to stop us so weve got a big job on our hands to get that done.Australia blew the chance for their first northern hemisphere tour grand slam since 1984 courtesy of Saturdays loss to Ireland at the Aviva Stadium.The Wallabies created several late chances but failed to capitalise on injury-hit Irelands heavily re-jigged backline.Now Michael Cheikas side will hop on to London intent on closing out their northern tour with a victory that would upset the odds and the form of the last 12 months.England whitewashed the Wallabies in Australia in June, but Mumm believes Cheikas troops must not allow that three-Test series humbling colour next weeks clash.We love playing England, its a massive match, said Mumm. Weve lost a goal in the grand slam but theres still a tremendous amount to offer in next weeks game and firstly, Im very excited and Im sure once we have a good look at things and start to focus on the week then the excitement will be right up there.Its always brilliant to play there and I think everyone will be up for it.I think you cant help but be a little bit disappointed in the way June panned out, 3-0 series losses hurt and it actually wasnt that long ago but we wont be focusing on that as a motivating factor.Well be focusing on what we can do on the training pitch come next week and what we can do to put ourselves in the best position to win the match.If you look backwards, then you end up tripping over.

James Sutherland has declared Cricket Australias willingness to part with its multi-million-dollar Indian pot of gold as part of a collective effort to preserve the financial health of the global game.Following the ICC Annual Conference in Edinburgh, Sutherland, the CA chief executive, told ESPNcricinfo that CA was not alone in contemplating major changes to the revenue models based around bilateral (home and away) tours. Chief among these was the possibility of allowing overseas television revenue from India tours to Australia - worth up to $100 million extra to CAs annual balance sheet - to be at least partly diverted into a central rights package bundle to be shared among all members.Such a change would be likely to cost CA money in the short-term, while also changing the dynamics around the boards close relationship with the BCCI, a huge contributor to Australian crickets financial health. However Sutherland was blunt in saying that doing nothing is not an option, and said all boards had to look at the big picture of the international games future, amid worsening financial situations for some countries and the encroachment of domestic Twenty20 leagues on schedules and player priorities.Its different, isnt it, Sutherland said of the proposal to bundle rights for bilateral series. You have to have a belief in the broader context and youve also got to see the big picture. I think together with pretty well all other countries right now we see that bilateral cricket is very much our core business and its really important that it continues to be popular. Ideally if we get to a situation where it has more structure around it, we build context, fans can understand and appreciate it more and we can increase the value and appeal of bilateral cricket.Weve got a very open mind and we believe in a big-picture sense that the benefits will flow, not only to us but to others. It may well be we go backwards before we go forwards, we dont know, but we do believe in the big picture and we do believe individual countries cant operate in isolation of everyone else. Thats something were very conscious of and thats why we support the work the ICC has done so far in reviewing the structure of bilateral cricket and how that might all work. Itll be good for the game, thats our foremost position, and hopefully down the track itll be good for cricket in Australia.Sutherlands words are a world away from CAs actions eight years ago during the Monkeygate furore, when Australias players felt let down when the board elected to avoid the risk of India flying home from the 2007-08 tour rather than backing Andrew Symonds against Harbhajan Singh. However since that time CA has worked assiduously to become more financially independent, raising a second major revenue stream from the Big Bash League and reforming governance to better advance the interests of the game in total.As a member of the ICC working committee exploring the commercial implications of changes to bilateral tours, Sutherland said he was encouraged by how much willingness he saw in Edinburggh to reform the structure of the game.dddddddddddd. Further talks are set to be held in late August or early September, before a more detailed model is presented to the ICC board in October.I think were getting to a stage of really getting down to a bit of detail now of what it all looks like and how it works, he said. Were hoping to have some meetings next month where we get everyone together to talk a bit more about it. The pleasing thing is theres some genuine momentum here on this and strong alignment and will to make some meaningful decisions. Thats going to be good for the game and hopefully that will happen in the next little while. Everyone is strongly aligned and Im confident were heading in the right direction here.Everyone is firmly of the view that doing nothing around the structure is not an option, and about building more context around international bilateral competition. How it unfolds in regard to exploitation of rights and all of that is something individual members will need to make some decisions on, but it does follow that there are opportunities perhaps to do things better and differently on a collective basis rather than on an individual basis.That sort of stuff is not a necessity, people could opt in or opt out of that opportunity; the bundling of rights may well deliver greater value but it will almost certainly deliver greater flexibility and capacity for member countries to generate media and digital assets that can help make the game more accessible for fans. Thats ultimately what we should all be about.The models being currently discussed will include a certain weighting for the value of each countrys overseas rights, meaning that the likes of India, Australia and England will still get a share somewhat proportionate to their financial contribution. It will also be possible to schedule bilateral tours outside of the proposed league structures, meaning the Ashes or Border-Gavaskar series could still take place if the teams found themselves in different divisions.However the days of countries being financially tied to the BCCI for their very survival, and thus in lockstep when voting on issues at the ICC board table, may soon make way for a more equitable future, in line with governance changes also in the works. The share of the revenues will still be somewhat proportionate one way or the other to the contribution, Sutherland said. If one country, India for example, their contribution to that total pie is greater than someone else theyll get a benefit from that in a proportional sense.But what it should allow is for other countries, who arent as strong or dont have as much power and are effectively selling their rights in competition against other countries, to be a part of a bundle that helps increase the value by virtue of context and structure that they wouldnt have otherwise been able to achieve. Thats all about everyone helping each other to get a better outcome. ' ' '
