ICC Champions Trophy 2017, England vs Australia: 5 things Australia did wrong

#2 Bowling too short to Stokes and Morgan

Ben Stokes nailed the pull shots to perfection to sink Australia

That Eoin Morgan has a weakness against the short ball is well known. Peppering him with short balls did not seem like a bad idea at the start of the innings, especially with Hazlewood inducing an edge. But as the innings progressed, Morgan found his feet against the short ball while Stokes was acing them like Roddick's serve.

But strangely the Aussie pacers persisted with the short line, in particular, Cummins and Hazlewood. The former was guilty of not complementing the strike bowlers. He was short and wayward allowing the England batsmen to dominate proceedings.
