England have to exploit Australia's biggest weaknesses - including David Warner
England have to exploit Australia's biggest weaknesses - including David WarnerThere is also another factor at play here – trying to put a significant dent in Aussie hopes of becoming world champions in all three formats of the game and reasserting their own dominance of the white-ball formats.
But they showed their ruthless streak in India last autumn, shocking the hosts in the final in front of a stunned crowd in Ahmedabad to win their sixth ODI World Cup. They started their tournament with a laboured, if ultimately comfortable, 39-run win against Oman here in Barbados on Wednesday night. Batting first, Australia were 80 for three after 14 overs before man-of-the-match Marcus Stoinis cut loose, the all-rounder eventually scoring 67 from 36 balls.DA Warner, TM Head, MR Marsh , GJ Maxwell, MP Stoinis, TH David, MS Wade , PJ Cummins, MA Starc, A Zampa, JR Hazlewood.
But at the age of 37 and having retired from every other international format, he looked laboured on Wednesday as he hit 56 from 51 balls – a far-from flattering strike-rate of 109 against an associate bowling attack.Maxwell lit up the last 50-over World Cup when he scored a staggering unbeaten double century against Afghanistan in Mumbai to seal his team’s place in the semi-finals.
Of Australia’s 15-man squad, 11 played in the IPL. Unlike England, who recalled their players from the tournament early, several of the key Aussie players arrived late after being given a brief period at home before this tournament.
