Preamble
Rob Smyth
Hiya and welcome to stay, over-by-over protection of the second and last ODI between Sri Lanka and Australia in Colombo.
Lower than three weeks in the past it regarded like 10 of Australia’s World Cup-winning XI could be off to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy, with David Warner the one man lacking. Now there are six males standing: Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and the Mitches, Starc and Marsh, have all been dominated out, and Australia discover themselves having to rebuild an excellent workforce on the hoof.
That is their final official ODI earlier than the Champions Trophy opener towards England every week tomorrow. In the meanwhile no warm-ups are scheduled, so Australia are prone to decide what Andrew McDonald thinks is their provisional XI going into the event.
That ought to imply a return for Travis Head, Glenn Maxwell and Josh Inglis, although it’s the composition of the bowling assault that’s extra intriguing. Adam Zampa is a positive factor; the opposite three or 4 locations are up for grabs.
The bowling skill of Maxwell and Head, in addition to Marnus Labuschagne and Matthew Quick, plus the stellar batting type of Alex Carey, provides them loads of choices each when it comes to personnel and the steadiness of the aspect.
Immediately’s match ought to give us a fairly good concept of their pondering, and whether or not this rejigged workforce has the potential so as to add the Champions Trophy to Australia’s bulging cupboard.
