Plenty has happened in the white ball form of the games since these nations met in a memorable Ashes last year. England have capitulated, with two miserable World Cup campaigns that have culminated in the sacking of coach Matthew Mott. Ahead of Brendon ‘Bazball’ McCullum’s appointment in January, the selectors have rung the changes for this series — three T20I debutants will appear at the Utilita Bowl today, with Jordan Cox, Jacob Bethell and Jamie Overton all coming in.
It’s been a different story for their old enemy, with the Aussies sealing an incredible ICC Cricket World Cup win in India at the end of last year. David Warner may have retired, but there’s still plenty of experienced heads in the squad. None more so than Travis, who smashed 80 off 25 for the tourists against Scotland last week. The batting unit as a whole was in intimidating form north of the border, which they’ll be seeking to replicate on the south coast today.
