England find themselves on the highest of white-ball pedestals. From a few rungs down below, Australia can only begrudgingly applaud, knowing all too well the peaks of dominating limited-overs formats. If last year was proof that Australia do take their T20I game seriously too, this past week was the clearest indicator of how far beyond England are in these two formats than all of their peers. They now hold both the 50 and the 20-over World titles, with the latter won at the hallowed MCG, much to the chagrin of the hosts.
But there's a quick opportunity for a fresh start. The current cricket calendar doesn't allow the victors of a major tournament to indulge in too much revelry, and neither can there be wallowing in disappointment for those that didn't go far. Australia will be glad about the latter as they get stuck into action right away. There's an ODI World Cup coming in less than a year's time, building up well for which comes with the added motivation of being able to put a stop to England's recent white-ball supremacy.
When: Australia vs England, 1st ODI, 01:50 PM Local Time
Where: Adelaide Oval
What to expect: There's rain forecast in Adelaide for the upcoming weekend but Thursday is expected to be a perfectly sunny day for some ODI cricket.
Team news:
Australia:
With Aaron Finch announcing his ODI retirement, Travis Head has the chance to put his hand up to be David Warner's regular opening partner in the 50-over format, with an eye on next year's World Cup in India.
Probable XI: David Warner, Travis Head, Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Marcus Stoinis, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood
England:
While 11 members of the T20 World Cup winning squad have stayed back in Australia for the ODI series, some of the attention will be on the players who have been handed a chance to make their ODI comebacks. The likes of James Vince, Sam Billings and Olly Stone - who last played an ODI in 2018 - will aim to impress early to become regulars in this format.
Probable XI: Jason Roy, Phil Salt, Dawid Malan, James Vince, Jos Buttler, Sam Billings, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, David Willey, Adil Rashid, Chris Jordan/Olly Stone
Did you know:
- Jason Roy is 46 away from 4000 ODI runs
- Adam Zampa has the most ODI wickets for Australia in 2022 with 19 dismissals
What they said:
"Eoin Morgan single handedly turned it around, and it's been a process over eight years when you look at the depth in terms of white-ball cricket that England possesses. It's pretty scary actually. So even with the injuries that happened in this World Cup, and the guys who missed out on the squad, the strength and depth is amazing to see. It started with Morgs, but it's kept on going and Jos has taken that on as probably the best white-ball batter in the world and as skipper now, it's the next step of his journey." - Sam Billings
"I actually feel like I've trained really, really well in the last couple of months. I know it hasn't flowed into the games as yet, but that's the beauty of it - I know it's just around the corner. And I remember going back to that day (against Pakistan in January 2017) with Davey (Warner) at the other end, he went at a million miles an hour and took the pressure off me. So I think as a batting partnership, we'll bounce off each other really well." -Travis Head
Squads:
Australia Squad: David Warner, Travis Head, Steven Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Marcus Stoinis, Cameron Green, Alex Carey(w), Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins(c), Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Marsh, Sean Abbott, Ashton Agar
England Squad: Jason Roy, Philip Salt, Dawid Malan, James Vince, Jos Buttler(w/c), Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Liam Dawson, Chris Woakes, David Willey, Adil Rashid, Sam Billings, Chris Jordan, Olly Stone, Luke Wood
