The former Australian captain says he wouldn’t pick the world’s leading ODI run-scorer for 2019 in Usman Khawaja.
The former Australian captain says he wouldn’t pick the world’s leading ODI run-scorer for 2019 in Usman Khawaja.
From the moment David Warner and Steve Smith appeared on the Southampton ground last night, the English fans kept booing the two Australians over their involvement in the ball-tampering saga in South Africa over a year ago.
1Centurion Steve Smith says the boos from the English fans that punctuated his fine 116, in Australia’s 12-run win over England were water off a duck’s back.
Steve Smith’s form is growing ever more ominous just days out from the 2019 World Cup with the Australian superstar last night making a wonderful ton against England.
It was an innings few Australian cricket fans will forget, for a variety of different reasons. I refer to, of course, Andrew Symonds’ brilliant 143 not out versus Pakistan in Australia’s opening game of the 2003 World Cup in South Africa.
It’s taken four years, and I’m still on the fence about Brendon McCullum’s third ball duck in the 2015 World Cup final.
Any concerns about Steve Smith’s form, fitness and ability to adapt to a new batting role have evaporated over the past three weeks as the former Australian skipper has made a sparkling return to high level cricket.
For starters, the Australians have three world-class opening batsmen in David Warner, Aaron Finch and Usman Khawaja – a good problem to have.
With the greatest competition in cricket commencing in England next week, Australia are steadily shaping as a decent chance of reclaiming their 2015 title as world champions.

Usman Khawaja has undergone scans on his jaw at a hospital in Southampton after being struck by an Andre Russell delivery in Australia’s win over the West Indies. Khawaja was forced off the field early in the innings, when he had scored just five, and was hit by a ball that reared up off a […]
Australia’s best batsmen, David Warner and Steve Smith, have completed their 12-month suspensions for ball tampering in South Africa, but the pundits have predicted they will cop plenty of abuse from English crowds throughout the World Cup.
Kennedy Obuya is lying on the turf, squirming in agony. He rolls from one side of his body to the other, back and forth, kicking out with his right leg, almost as if in a state of convulsion.
With the days dwindling until their first official World Cup fixture against Afghanistan on June 1, the Australian set up still finds itself grappling with the constitution of their preferred top order.
At the 2015 World Cup Mitchell Starc was outstanding, and after the final he was announced as the player of the tournament, a fitting reward at the conclusion of six weeks of superb fast bowling. He was a player right at the top of his game.
Defending champions Australia open their campaign on Saturday, 1 June, against Afghanistan.
Never has a squash ball drawn so much attention in the cricket world. And never has a World Cup final ended in such farcical circumstances. But neither of those took any of the gloss off one of Adam Gilchrist’s finest innings.
Bitterly disappointed to be twice overlooked for the World Cup, Josh Hazlewood hopes selectors keep him in mind if Australia need a mid-tournament replacement. Excluding Hazlewood, the world’s top-ranked ODI bowler in 2017 and part of Australia’s 2015 World Cup triumph, from the 15-man squad was arguably the boldest and most contentious call that selectors […]
