New episode of the series – http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 versus England
England thrashed Australia and retained the Ashes series in the first chapter of the tour. The second phase starts tomorrow with the first Twenty20 international. The last Twenty20 international match, both teams played against each other was the grand finale
of the World Twenty20 in Barbados. England emerged the champions and won their first international silverware after they humiliated Australia. Adelaide will be catering this encounter and the match will be played in the artificial lights with coloured kits
and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/A-White-c41360 ball.
The format of the game gives flexibility and fortunes can change quickly. A Touch of madness or a moment of brilliance can change the script of the match. Although the Aussies are not known for their shorter version skills; however, they have immense potential
to challenge the mighty England. After winning the Test series 3-1, England also thrashed the Prime Minister’s XI. This string of victories will help England to carry on with the gained momentum and do well in the remaining series. England would ardently love
to win two scheduled back to back Twenty20 matches and then focus on the One Day Internationals. Both the teams are due to play in the World Cup after the completion of this series.
Team Australia is in the rebuilding phase and it takes time for the teams to formulate a success recipe with the new combination. The Aussies have tried few new players; however, most of them failed to impress. Twenty20 is a perfect scenario for them to
beat England and then trigger the winning habit. England has suffered a lot in yesteryears. However, now they have a great blend of youth and experience. Michael http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120 recently retired from the shortest format of the game and Cameron White is geared up to
take the leadership duties. Wicketkeeper Tim Paine has been appointed as his deputy.
A few new faces are part of the Aussies squad and this might work as a lucky charm for the nation. Australia has some sensational talent in their pool for tomorrows Twenty20 international match. The likes of lightening fast Shaun Tait and Brett Lee are
expected to play tomorrow and will certainly test England’s top order with their neck breaking speed. Renowned hitters like David Hussey and David Warner will like to perform and cement their place in the World Cup squad.
Trivial information:
England has won seven consecutive Twenty20 matches and winning the eighth match will set a new world record.
Australia has won only one match in their last five Twenty20 outings. The last Twenty20 international both the teams played in Australia was in Sydney, in 2006-07. Australia defeated England in that match with a comfortable margin of 77 runs.
Cameron White is a seasoned and accomplished player for Australia. The new captain said, "It's really a fresh start for this team specifically, hopefully a change of format, a change of luck."
England’s out of form skipper Paul Collingwood expressed, "It's not easy to win that many games on the trot in Twenty20, they are another two huge games for us."
As the new phase of the series is starting, both the teams are shuffling their players. Following is the list of the probable players:
Australia: David Warner, Shane http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Aaron-Finch-c881, David Hussey, Cameron White, Steven Smith, Tim Paine, Mitchell Johnson, Steve O'Keefe, Brett Lee and Shaun Tait.
England: Ian Bell, Steven Davies, Kevin Pietersen, Paul Collingwood, Eoin Morgan, Luke Wright, Michael Yardy, Tim Bresnan, Graeme Swann, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ajmal-Shahzad-c42489 and Chris Tremlett.
