Now they have to do it against a full-strength India in the ODI's and Tests in the coming weeks plus of course, the World Cup next year. Interesting times ahead for them.


On the flip side, this was an experimental Australian ODI squad made up of many fringe players who performed well in the last Big Bash in Australia and the recent IPL. Good to see them getting a go but I doubt many of this lot will be in the squad for the WC next year.
I thing Bairstow hit peak form this past few weeks and it remains to be seen if he can repeat it in the future. Then Roy and Hales weighed in which set things up for England. I don't think the Aussies were as bad as the 5-0 scoreline suggests, its just they couldn't get any consistency together and it all went tits up from there.
