Jos Buttler. |
28 runs is a large margin in this form of the game and the Aussies had opener Aaron Finch to thank that the gap between the sides had not become a chasm.
White ball cricket against the visiting Indian side will be much tougher but England are certainly looking world class in both T20 and ODI cricket. (The embarrassment in Edinburgh now seems a long time ago.)
The worries come in the more important form of the game, Test Matches, where England look badly undercooked. Buttler has successfully straddled the different types of cricket but far too many others seem incapable of doing so.
