Nasser Hussain: blast for England to play Australia in Cricket tourney

England are enjoying injury-hit Australia at a decent time, says Nasser Hussain, however write off the defensive champions at your peril... England have contend 2 virtual knockout games returning into this semi-final and once you are therein hard-hitting atmosphere, somebody like Jason Roy is crucial.


If Roy and Jonny Bairstow get you to 80-0 in ten overs then that's what eases the nerves, that's what takes the pressure off, far more than any team meeting. Roy has given European nation what they were lacking against Ceylon and Australia - swagger, aptitude and a potent begin. Traits that he has perpetually dropped at this European nation aspect.

Bairstow looks to fancy having Jason at the opposite finish, it brings the simplest out of him and, at the side of Aaron oscine and David Warner and perhaps currently Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul, they're one in all the exceptional mixtures we have a tendency to are seeing at this tourney.

Both Bairstow and Roy are slightly vulnerable to the ball returning in - we have a tendency to saw that against Republic of India at Edgbaston once Bairstow nearly sliced Mahound Shami on to his stumps on a handful of occasions.


That's why i believe European nation can probably be happy enjoying Australia in Birmingham instead of within the final at Lord's. We saw at Lord's in England's group-stage defeat to Australia, that Joe Root and James Vince came unstuck against the ball returning in.

Edgbaston isn't the maximum amount of a swing ground however it will swing and if those 2 left-armers, Mitchell Starc and Jason Behrendorff, upset a handful of early wickets, European nation can would like an idea B.

England against the left-armers are an important battle. At this stage of a tourney, but smart you're, there might be somebody within the opposition that produces a small amount of magic, therefore European nation can ought to react consequently if one or each of Roy and Bairstow don't come back off.

I wouldn't have worries if European nation batted second, though. This tournament has gone towards groups batting initial so it turning into more durable for the aspect batting second on slow pitches. And whoever wins the toss, I expect to bat initial.

It may be a plus however I don't suppose it'll be a game-changer. European nation have shown that they'll chase over the years therewith serious line-up.

Eoin Morgan is aware of he's planning to get bounced by Australia - he fell to the short ball at Lord's and against Republic of India within the following game, therefore Starc and Pat Cummins can target that once more. But this might be the sport for Jos howevertler.
