4 times Australia suffered a whitewash in ODIs

#3 England, 2012

Australia traveled to England in 2012 as the No. 1 ranked ODI side of the world. Though they were up against the tough English conditions it was still expected to be a close contest except it wasn’t.

Australia were blown out of the park as they ended the series without a single victory to show for as Alastair Cook captained the English side to a 4-0 victory over their Ashes rivals. The third match at Edgbaston was washed out and spared Australia the ignominy of their first 5-0 whitewash in ODI history.

Eoin Morgan, now the leading run-scorer for England in ODI format, made his presence felt at the international level as he was instrumental in England's demolition of the Australian cricket team. England had five of the six leading run-getters in the series as they won the first game by 15 runs and the second by six wickets. The fourth and fifth ODI was won even more comfortably as the hosts won it by eight and seven wickets respectively.

Steven Finn was the standout bowler for as he took 8 wickets to end the series with most wickets. Ian Bell was a key factor in inflicting a humiliating series loss over Australia as he ended the series with the most number of runs and was deservingly named the Player of the Series.
