It seems good on paper however given the batting-friendly pitch, the warmth, the shortage of depth in England’s assault, Australia blew a golden alternative after profitable the toss to interrupt their rival.
If they’d performed with extra smarts and self-discipline, Australia ought to nonetheless be batting now.
Unless the Bazballers implode once more, which can’t be dominated out, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Scott Boland and Nathan Lyon should be at their greatest as we speak to make a critical dent into England.
England have survived the primary over. They are 0-1 with Cummins about to bowl.
