Muse Give England Cricket Team Ashes Boost

Muse have given the England cricket team a boost ahead of the fourth test in the Ashes series against Australia.

Members of the squad, including James Anderson, went to watch the band perform in Perth last night (December 19).

In a post on Twitter, the bowler said: “Went to see Muse last night. They showed us how to play in Perth. Up there with the best live band I've seen.”

The gig came just hours after England crashed to defeat on the fourth day of the third test.

England and Australia will do battle again in the fourth test in Melbourne, which begins on Boxing Day (December 26).
