England coach Trevor Bayliss is suggesting a cricket cold war with Australia in a bid to revive the Poms' chances in away Ashes series.

Following Australia's third Test win on Monday to ensure they regained the Ashes with a 3-0 series lead, Bayliss floated the idea of Englishmen playing in the Sheffield Shield to gain experience in Australian conditions.

But no sooner did he pose the question, the former NSW coach answered it himself.

"I might try and encourage Cricket Australia to let some of our boys come out here and play," Bayliss said.

"Cricket Australia won't let them come out and play Shield cricket, that is for sure."

So Bayliss suggested England turn the tables and restrict the flow of Australians into county cricket.

"Maybe we should look at the other way and stop a few Aussie boys going over there to get the experience," he said.

Bayliss has pinpointed England's lack of know-how in Australian conditions as a factor in their Ashes series loss.

"We have got to try and get them (English cricketers) as much experience in foreign conditions as we possibly can if we want to be successful away from home," he said.

England's home conditions, which don't demand or reward sheer fast bowling, were also reasons for their eight-straight Test losses in Australia.

"If the wickets are responsive to fast bowling, it gives encouragement to young fast bowlers to bowl fast," Bayliss said.

"If they don't, well, it's probably the opposite and discourages bowlers to try and run in and bowl fast."
