England Ready to Counter Perth Bounce, Says McCullum
McCullum said England’s batsmen have adapted to Perth’s pace and bounce after a 92-run warm-up win over Western Australia.
- On Saturday, England defeated Western Australia by 92 runs at the WACA Ground in their warm-up match. Spinner Adil Rashid took 4-35 and paceman Jofra Archer claimed 3-34 as the hosts collapsed to 159.
- Paceman Lance Morris marked his return from a 20-month back injury by taking 3-29 off 10 overs as England was restricted to 251. The warm-up fixture provided vital preparation ahead of the ODI series.
- Opener Ben Duckett top-scored with 59, while captain Harry Brook's six bounced into the WACA Ground's new pool. England white-ball coach Brendon McCullum said his batsmen can counter Australia's short-ball threat with proper technique.
- Former opener Usman Khawaja's claims that 2018 ball-tampering knowledge extended beyond sanctioned players cast an unwelcome distraction over the fixture. WA opener Cameron Bancroft faced renewed scrutiny following the bombshell comments.
- The three-match ODI series begins on Friday at Perth's Optus Stadium, followed by five T20 internationals. England aims to build on this convincing warm-up victory as they prepare to face the Australian team.
