T20 World Cup: Marsh named captain, Smith and Fraser-McGurk miss out

David Warner’s miserable Ashes campaign has continued at Old Trafford with the Australia opener falling for a second-ball duck – once again to Stuart Broad.
Warner, who has scored just 79 runs in seven innings with 60 of those coming in the first innings of the third Test at Headingley, attempted to leave the fourth delivery of the first over but deflected it to Jonny Bairstow behind the stumps.
The former vice-captain has now been dismissed five times for 32 runs in the series by Broad and registered single digit returns in six visits to the crease.
He averages just over 11 for the series – his worst run of form since making his Test debut in 2011.
Warner is also only the fourth opener in Ashes history to register at least six single figure dismissals in a series joining Australia’s Colin McDonald (1956), Jon Dyson (1981) and Mike Atherton (1997).
Broad has now dismissed him 10 times – the most by any bowler with former Australia skipper Michael Clarke the only player he has dismissed more times with 11.
“It’s a tentative leave … you’re trying to feel your way in, it’s not easy,” Shane Warne said on Sky Sports.
“He’s (Broad) all over him like a cheap suit.”
