When: Australia vs England, 1st ODI, 01:50 PM Local Time
Where: Adelaide Oval
Preview:
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.
Australia Squad: David Warner, Travis Head, Steven Smith, Marnus
Labuschagne, Marcus Stoinis, Cameron Green, Alex Carey(w), Mitchell Starc,

England Squad: Jason Roy, Philip Salt, Dawid Malan, James Vince,
