Australia vs England 2018, 3rd ODI - What went wrong for the hosts

#4 Average bowling

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.

The pace trio of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins, who did not play together since the fifth Ashes Test, were reunited for Australia's must-win game.

The trio, 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.

Cummins was taken to the cleaners by Jos Buttler as he hit the pacer for 24 runs in the penultimate over of England's innings firing the touring party to 302/6 in 50 overs.

While the 24-year-old proved to be hosts' most expensive bowler by giving away 67 runs in 10 overs, Starc remained wicket-less in his 10 that went for 63 runs, whereas, Hazelwood claimed 2 wickets in his 10 overs while conceding 58 runs.
