England v Australia 2nd ODI: 5 Battles to look forward to in today’s game

#1 Billy Stanlake v Joe Root

Billy Stanlake

The giant Australian was the best bowler in his side in the 1st ODI and troubled the English batsmen no end as he ended up with figures of 2 for 44 in 10 overs. One of the wickets Billy Stanlake claimed in that game was that of England’s batting star Joe Root and in today’s game, his battle with the batsman is going to be one of the big highlights of the game.

It must be remembered that although Stanlake got is wicket, the English star made a vital 50 and that proved to be a very important innings in the larger scheme of things as England ended up winning. However, the pace, bounce and fury of the Australian fast bowler is going to be a very awkward prospect yet against for England and hence, his battle with one of the best English batsmen in the line-up is going to be a battle for the ages.
