ODI 4: Will England Step Up?

ODI 4 – 24 January, 2014 - Perth
Australia Vs England

Australia
Looking at the recent standards this team has set, this won't be such a comfortable ride – more because of their own complacencies. Batting will have the tendency to lose its way despite some strong partnerships. Bowling will be on the mark – aggressive and balanced. Fielding will be good too.

The Captain - Michael Clarke
Clarke is looking to make some changes – some very unrealistic ones which could prove to be quite troubling.

England
Opportunities will be handed over to England, but grabbing them at the right time and pushing for further results in their favour will be tough. They will lack consistency, which will be seen most in their batting. Although their innings will end strongly, it's the initial half that will hurt them. Bowling looks better controlled and confident. Fielding will not end too well.

The Captain - Alastair Cook
Cook seems sensible in his approach, but negativity and fear will play on his confidence. This won't allow him to accelerate when the chances arrive.
