There’s been plenty of chatter about Australia possibly managing England’s Twenty20 World Cup exit, but respected Test captain Pat Cummins says manipulating such a result goes against the “spirit of cricket”. Following Australia’s trouncing of Namibia to secure their Super Eight qualification, all eyes quickly turn to Sunday’s clash against Scotland, with England hoping the Aussies can continue their strong start to knock out their northern rivals and allow them to go through on net run rate.
