England eyeing at whitewash against Aussies
OVAL: The fourth ODI between England and Australia will be played at the Oval in London, with the series having already been decided. England seems to have surprised many by racing away to an impregnable 3-0 lead and the Aussies are now playing for pride. Despite the series score-line, it is a surprise that the bookies have still put England only marginally ahead of Australia. It has probably to do with the introduction of Shaun Tait in the side, but England looks like a good side to win the fourth in a row. Australia has struggled with the bat in all the three games so far. Much of it has been brought about their middle-order, which has refused to fire. Ricky Ponting’s year has been a pale shadow of his previous seasons, while Michael Hussey looks to have lost all his steam after playing a couple of match-winnings in the World T20. On the other hand, Michael Clarke did have an 80 to his name in the first ODI, but has, since then, struggled to get bat to ball. The best bet is to go for one of the openers, Shane Watson or Tim Paine, who have both looked in good touch and have the advantage of not facing the miserly English spinners till very late.
