Cricket: Glenn Maxwell blasted a record-breaking century and Adam Zampa took four cheap wickets as Australia cruised towards a crushing 309-run victory over the Netherlands in Delhi.
Travis Head should anticipate a bouncer barrage when he returns to Australia’s ODI side this week, with pace bowlers expected to target the opener’s wounded hand throughout the remainder of the World Cup.
Speaking to Fox Cricket this week, former Australian batter Mark Waugh brushed aside any conjecture on where Head should bat in the ODI team.“Obviously it will to be tough to separate Warner and Marsh at the top after their game against Pakistan, where they both batted beautifully. “It’s not going to be easy for him, because it’s been hot over there as well, so match fitness is going to be important for batters as well. Batting for a long time at the crease is not going to be easy, so he’s going to have his challenges.
“I’ll do whatever the team wants. I’ve got a pretty good record at three, so I was a bit shocked in a way, but I’ll do what I need to for the team.”
