*Official* Australia limited overs tour of Scotland and England 2024

Just superb calculations from Brook. One of your part timers needs to bowl 2 overs in the final 10.
They'll be annoyed to have not converted their starts but it's clear that Smith and Green did very well to cautiously see out those first 20-odd overs when the ball was darting around all over the place.

Mitchell Starc (241 wkts) now 4th highest ODI wicket taker for Aus after going past Mitchell Johnson (239).

Warne looks catchable at 291 but Lee and McGrath at 380 look a long way away

Phil not having a great time in the 50 over game of late.

Strolling home there though. Be nice if Australia at least put up a fight. Pathetic

England’s ODI side has become pretty **** hasn’t it
Very inexperienced. Does look a lot better with Buttler in. Root too if he can recapture his ODI form of old, and I don't see why he can't. I do wonder if Stokes goes the CT.

All on Brook. As much as England can accommodate LL's maverick nature I don't trust him to see a pressure situation out.

See, I said he shouldn't be in the team the other day and he wanted to prove me wrong.
Definitely should be in the team.

Just the balance is completely wrong. I'd have both of Root/Hain in the side as the 3/4.

Root/Morgan is our most successful partnership as both were great at the middle over accumulation after we got off to a flier with Hales/Roy or Roy/Bairstow. Don't need 4 more aggressive players in our top 5.

Brook one too high at 4 he is better suited as the 5. Despite how he played today.
