- Not holding up against Mitchell Santner:
Mitchell Santner is often an underrated package for New Zealand, as he offers quite a bit. With the bat, he can play effective cameos down the order but it is his bowling which is his primary role. As a slow left arm spinner, Santner is a replica of Daniel Vettori, as he strangles an end down completely with his miserly bowling and a career economy rate below 5 just seconds that view. Australia need to ensure that their batsmen like Glenn Maxwell and Travis Head don’t go into the shell against Santner. To be successful, Santner needs to be targeted right from the very offset.
- David Warner continues his dream run of 2016:
In 23 games last year, Warner piled up an incredible tally of 1388 runs at an average of 63.09 and these figures included a jaw dropping tally of 7 centuries. This year in 5 games, he already has notched up 2 centuries! Such has been the sheer decimation radiating out of Warner’s giant willow! The brawny opener might not have a great record in England, but he shall remain the go to man for his team with the bat. Ranked among the top 2 in the ICC rankings for ODI batsmen, Warner needs to come to terms with the swinging conditions and make a real big one for his team to get past their neighbors.
