Australia vs England 2018, 1st ODI - What went wrong for the hosts

#1 Collective failure of the bowling unit

Australia boast of one of the most formidable bowling attacks when it comes to Test cricket, but, when it comes to limited overs, the same bowlers look quite ineffective.

Consequently, in an absolute contrast to the recently-concluded Ashes Test series, Australian pace battery was completely inadequate against the hard-hitting English batsmen.

Mitchell Starc, who wreaked havoc in the longest format of the game until a few days ago, looked totally out of the place in the 50-over cricket.

A lot is expected out of Starc as he is Steven Smith's go-to man as far as tormenting the oppositions' batsmen are concerned but the pacer could not make waves with his lacklustre performance.

Overall, Andrew Tye was economical but remained wicketless, Pat Cummins claimed two wickets but went for too many runs, while Adam Zampa conceded maximum runs and failed to take even a single wicket.
