Here is the schedule: June 21 v Leicestershire, Leicester (50 overs) Australia won by 102 runs (D/L method) 26 v Essex, Chelmsford (50 overs, d/n) (14:00 BST) 29 1st ODI, Lord's (10:45 BST) July 1 2nd ODI, The Oval (10:45 BST) 4 3rd ODI, Edgbaston (d/n) (14:00 BST) 7 4th ODI, Chester-le-Street (10:45 BST) 10 5th ODI, Old Trafford (d/n) (14:00 BST) [HR][/HR] If the weather holds off, should be an interesting series against the number 1 ranked ODI team.
On and off twice due to rain and only 6 overs bowled. England 15-0 a run rate of 2.5/over, Cook and Bell must think it is a test match.
Too little too late from Owen Morgan, we can afford to give an up-and-coming English player a chance against this average Aussie team, drop him.
Not sure about this series would have preferred a 4/5 test series with South Africa. Still give us a chance to look at this new Australian side and from what I can see it could be an interesting Summer next year!
England should win this series easily, Australia have a weakness in batsman - a Eoin Morgan kind of player.
If we hadn't have lost one game to weather, England could have been ranked No. 1 in all forms of cricket.
