And the First Blow Goes to...

ODI 1 – 6 September, 2013 – Leeds
England Vs Australia

England
Positive but patchy – team England's middle over batting and initial bowling will let them down. Overall, they will be blessed with good partnerships in all areas to see them put up a strong fight. Their plans are deceptive and simple allowing them to change their ideas as and when required.

The Captain – Eoin Morgan
Morgan is going to enjoy this opportunity; his freshness will bring with it a happier energy in the team. He will need to think a little ahead rather than just focussing on momentary concerns during the game.

Australia
Aggressive yet inconsistent – team Australia will have good batting partnerships and good balance in their bowling, but both these areas will not end on the strongest note. In order to put up a fight, it will be important for them to regulate their aggression and stick to a basic plan.

The Captain – Michael Clarke
Clarke starts off positively and in tune with what is required, but unnecessary changes will create problems. Hence he should not divert from his basic original plan.
