Australia tour of the UK 2024 (white-ball series against Scotland and England)

[FearlessRoar]

Sky Sports' Nasser Hussain:

"A lot of these lads are batters who bowl, Head, Lab, Short so they are thinking like a batter.

"That is the value of having all-rounders."

"If I could could say to any young boy or girl out there who are developing their game, have two or three strings to your bow, including the fielding because that's what coaches are looking for."

"[Ben] Duckett and [Will] Jacks are such different players."

"Jacks looked to hit him [Adam Zampa] down the ground obviously taller and right-handed."

"Duckett, left-handed, looking to reverse-sweep and sweep."

"I liked how Zampa was managed by the skipper, at times he was taken out of the attack, you would think that such a senior player playing in his 100th ODI match the skipper would keep him on and back him."

"But actually he brought him back on and realised his value down the order."

"[Steve] Smith still has a leadership role. When Marsh was in awkward positions and couldn't take to the bowlers, Smith was walking over and having that conversation."

Why is Buttler not playing? Neither Bairstow? They don't play Test cricket anyways.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

England 315

Australia (36/50 ov, T:316) 233/3

What a dominant win by OZ.

 

[mominsaigol]

What a dominant win by OZ.

Travis head is next level, gilchrist, Warner and Travis form the God father trilogy on terms of left handed openers for Australia.

Am very impressed by Labu as well, improves day by day and is a much improved batsmen now. Smith is dissapointing as usual

 

[LegendAli]

Why is Buttler not playing? Neither Bairstow? They don't play Test cricket anyways.

Same reason as why Starc, Hazlewood, Maxwell, and Inglis were all benched today.

Australia won by 7 wickets against England in the 1st ODI of the 5-match series today.

Head's unbeaten hundred helps Australia overpower England comfortably

Australia's cricket team faced off against England in the first ODI at Trent Bridge. Ben Duckett's innings ended tamely, but Travis Head's innings powered onwards, resulting in a seven-wicket victory. Head's converted century, his sixth in 66 ODIs and his second against England, was the key reason for Australia's victory. Australia's makeshift attack, stretched to eight personnel, including four spinners, was also a factor.

At the time of their record pummelling in 2018, Australia had been preparing for another huge chase at 213 for 2 in the 33rd over. However, Marnus Labuschagne's legbreaks of 3 for 39 in six overs not only included the scalps of Duckett and Harry Brook but also lit a fire under Australia's premier leggie Adam Zampa, who responded to a leaky first three overs with final figures of 3 for 49. The resilience of Australia's makeshift attack and the absence of key players like Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc contributed to their victory.

 

[shaz619]

Not a good day at the office but I commend England for giving these belligerent players chances and looking to the future

 

[mominsaigol]

Neither side played full strength tbf, Australia is missing half it's bowling lineup and some key batters while England is without Butler and a few bowlers like wood.

But Australia at full strength is >>>> England at full strength

 

[FearlessRoar]

It's sad to see the downfall of England cricket in the white-ball format.

Those were the days when Jason Roy, Alex Hales, Eoin Morgan and Liam Plunkett were part of the team.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

 

[Cricket Warrior]

231* runs and 5 wickets together.. that is what we call a 2 man army!

 

[BouncerGuy]

England vs Australia, 2nd ODI:

England have won the toss and have opted to field

They are transitioning, it's not a downfall

 

[mominsaigol]

This guy Matt Short is a good opening batter

 

[mominsaigol]

Australia are so far ahead of England now it's criminal but Travis falls, not suprised though, he ain't a back to back century type player

 

[FearlessRoar]

Marsh pulls a short ball from Carse over square leg and that's gone out the ground.

The briefcase of reserve balls comes out.

 

[mominsaigol]

Smith is so rubbish now

 

[Devadwal]

Smith should retire now. He is become useless .

 

[Devadwal]

So apart from Cummins this is full strength australian team

 

[FearlessRoar]

Smith should retire now. He is become useless .

Not yet, have patience

 

[mominsaigol]

What? No lol

 

[Devadwal]

What? No lol

Who are missing?? Don't say Green he is nothing great.
Only Cummins is missing

 

[mominsaigol]

Who are missing?? Don't say Green he is nothing great.

Wait till 2025 ct, they'll be more changes.

Smith is definitely going to be gone from odi and short won't last long, Labu will likely get a promotion to no 4. And their a few young bloods in domestic rearing for a go.

A few changes will be made dw.

 

[Devadwal]

Heard that English supporters were boos smith when he walked to the crease

 

[Mas-LFC]

England look so different . Except 3-4 players there I’ve never seen the others.

Who is missing , I don't think anyone apart from Cummins.

So this is almost full strength australian team. This is Australia team going to Play champion trophy in pakistan .

 

[mominsaigol]

This is my personal opinion.

I think Jake fraser will be developed by them, Rn he has a niggle but his 50 against Scotland is just the start, and Australia are hoping for him to come through over Short atm.

I also think smith will be gone and Labu will get the promotion to no 4.

I think Travis head, Maxwell, Cummins, Labu, Hazlewood(maybe), Zampa will likely be the main ones to go.

The rest will all be new, current the likes of hardie are solid prospects that'll be taken. The rest we'll see. I doubt Marcus stonis will be taken this tkme

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Not sure why Brook has given Carse 6 overs after he's going at over 10 an over.

 

[Mas-LFC]

I used to love ODI series’s in the past, still do like the ODI format ICC tournament's. But recently liking International t20s more. T20s are entertaining, action packed fun and quick. ODI bilateral series seems meaningless at times!

 

[BouncerGuy]

What a player Mitch Marsh is turning into. 19th fifty of his career today.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4th wicket down Labu gone

 

[Deewana Mastana]

200 ODI wickets Adil Rashid

 

[Devadwal]

Australia is struggling. Australia is head or nothing.

 

[mominsaigol]

Australia is struggling. Australia is head or nothing.

Very funny

 

[sindhiboy]

Livingstone is ending up being an Moeen Ali-esque cricketer in international cricket.

 

[sweep_shot]

Aussies are probably losing this one. England are on top.

AUS - 221/8 (36.2 overs).

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Australia missing their target by around 90-100 runs. Poor collapse by the Aussies

 

[FearlessRoar]

England vs Australia, 2nd ODI

Innings Break

AUS 270 (44.4)

 

[Devadwal]

Last wicket partnership take Australia to 270 ,which is competitive score

Aussies reached 270 from 221/8.

That's impressive.

Lol no, theirs a reason England chose to bowl first. The pitch was a minefield. Look at how England is collapsing, Starc is still bowling rubbish but he's getting wickets.

Bumrah would be unplayable on this pitch lol.

Australia played perfectly and Carey achieved a match winning innings. It's hilarious considering my brother @Rana And I were arguing with Rizwan fanboys who had the audacity to tell is Rizwam > Carey.

England will collapse for 100-150

 

[mominsaigol]

Every Indian wanting the downfall of Australia lol. Stay mad, their on an odi unbeaten streak atm

Yeah . I thought this was a typical Headingley surface where 320 is par.

Probably not, then .

 

[LegendAli]

Bethell Bieber off to a solid start.

 

[mominsaigol]

Yeah . I thought this was a typical Headingley surface where 320 is par.

Probably not, then .

Brother, did you not hear what England said at the toss?

Even Australia wanted to bowl first, They said they'd try to look to score 250 to 270 on such a pitch and they achieved it.

This England team is in no state to beat Australia, shame on aussie if they even lose a single game since their playing at 90% strength against a transitioning and inexperienced England side, one that has no Butler, Bairstow, moeen, Wood and various others to help them out

Didn't watch at all, tbh. Just going by past scores at Headingley

 

[mominsaigol]

Everyone's bowling as if their mcgrath. Tbf this pitch while rubbish is still better then New York. NY is stupidly dangerous.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Multiple dropped catches , best bowler Zampa getting whacked by tailenders . Apart from Travis Head, rest of the lineup don't look good at all. @mominsaigol

The same can be said for India as their riding on the coattails of Bumrah in odi atm.

They played full batting strength against sri lanka and lost badly.

And as I said relax, Australia got india's numbers in finals.

 

[mominsaigol]

To all Indians out their, let me rephrase, very soon Australia will have 7 Travis Heads and 5 Glenn Mcgraths in their line up, and when that day comes, you'll all be sorry

 

[Mas-LFC]

This new look England looks like how England were pre 2015 world cup. Maybe they need to invite Bangladesh and get beaten in ODI’s to kick start another major transformation. It was BD knocking England out 2015 changed English cricket!

 

[Devadwal]

To all Indians out their, let me rephrase, very soon Australia will have 7 Travis Heads and 5 Glenn Mcgraths in their line up, and when that day comes, you'll all be sorry

Maybe they need to find out how to use sandpaper so they can atleast win a test series against india even at home

 

[mominsaigol]

Maybe they need to find out how to use sandpaper so they can atleast win a test series against india even at home

Or maybe India needs to find a way to stop being aussie bunnies in tournament finals. It's not like the tournament finals were close matches. They were one side slaughter fests.

Last icc tournament we smashed Aussie and throw out of the tournaments .india is last ICC trophy winner team .

Seriously they need to find out how to use sandpaper to win a test series at home against india. Now Warner is already retired so he has enough experience of sandpaper ,they can hire him as an coach to train them .

India didn't, Afghanistan did. They beat Australia and then closed the door on them via Bangladesh.

Starc lost the game single handidely and bumrah had to rescue the team as usual. An encounter in the finals would have resulted in another butchering for India.

Not that I'm suprised considering without Bumrah they can't even beat sri lanka. Heck they'd probs have given Bangladesh a massive lead if not for bumrah

Result Updates

Australia defeat England by 68 runs to go 2-0 up in the 5-match series

England fell 2-0 down in the one-day international series against Australia as their batting wilted in the second match at Headingley.

Having dismissed the tourists for 270, England's top order was blown away by Australia's high-class pace-bowling attack in a comprehensive 68-run defeat.

Will Jacks and Liam Livingstone made first-ball ducks and Harry Brook only four in his second match as England's stand-in captain.

Youngsters Jamie Smith and Jacob Bethell attempted a rebuild from 65-5 until Bethell looped a catch to depart for 25.

Smith continued to 49 but clipped Josh Hazlewood, who was superb alongside fellow returning quick Mitchell Starc, to mid-wicket and England were seven down still 112 adrift.

Adil Rashid and Brydon Carse prolonged the game with 27 and 26 respectively, but by the time the hosts were bowled out for 202 many in the stands had already gone home.

Australia were grateful for Alex Carey's 74, which dragged them from 161-6 to what proved a competitive, if chaseable, total.

Carey, having been booed to the crease for his role in last summer's Ashes stumping of Jonny Bairstow, crucially put on 49 with Hazlewood.

Not really. Shami umesh are deadly in Asia. Shami is injured. Umesh is old now.

We have other bowlers coming up. Good fast bowling talents. Kuldeep sen who is injured, harshit, mayank etc.

[BouncerGuy]

So England lost a series against Australia. Well, nothing to be shocked about here. Australia is a dangerous team and has been in some form since they defeated INdia in the final.
