Borrell to boost Ashes team morale

Johnny Borrell is heading to Australia to play to the defeated England cricket team in an attempt to boost their spirits.

The Razorlight singer is flying to Melbourne, where he will play an acoustic performance for the team during the Fourth Test.

"Even though the Ashes are lost, Johnny wants to do his bit for morale," a source told the Daily Mirror. "He's texted and phoned players and they're up for it."

Australia won the tournament on Monday but Borrell is still visiting the country to watch the last test.

A spokesman for Razorlight said: "Johnny is taking his acoustic guitar and is friends with some of the team, so it's a real possibility."
