Cricket: England's World Cup campaign got off to an underwhelming start as their clash with Scotland was abandoned due to rain.
England vs. Scotland abandoned | 00:50Oman captain Aqib Ilyas has boldly declared that Australia’s top-order is vulnerable against spin bowlers on slow decks ahead of Thursday’s T20 World Cup contest in Bridgetown.
Don’t miss all the 4K action this weekend on Kayo including selected NRL, AFL, SSN games and every qualifying session and F1 race. New to Kayo?Oman, ranked 19th in the T20 format, is competing during the main stage of a World Cup for the first time.“We don’t have much to lose. Every time there is a World Cup, there is an upset … anything can happen.“After the game, of course there are great players in their side and we can learn a lot from them.
“What people love about Mitch is he actually just cares about people,” teammate Ashton Agar said this week. Spin is expected to feature prominently at the Bridgetown venue where Australia will play its opening two T20 World Cup fixtures, so the national selection panel could be tempted to slot spinner Ashton Agar into the starting XI at the expense of either Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins or Josh Hazlewood.
Cummins, who has never played an international match in the West Indies, would be the most likely candidate to make way for Agar, but the New South Welshman is coming off a successful campaign with the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League, taking 18 wickets at 31.44.his T20 bowling this week.
However, the 37-year-old enters the marquee tournament having been dropped by Dehli Capitals coach Ricky Ponting during the recent IPL, where he notched 168 runs at 21.00 with one fifty in eight knocks. However, Cummins brushed aside concerns about Warner and Maxwell ahead of Thursday’s match against Oman despite their underwhelming franchise form.
