If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

Easy to be wise after the event but that’s a ridiculous call to bowl Rashid when they needed 10 off the over

England blew that.

Australia blew the last game. Two very evenly matched teams, could have gone either way. Good win for Australia but in the grand scheme of things, meh.

Nice to see Billings have a decent series. Didn’t learn a lot else though, we know batting is our stronger suit by far. Morgan is still a great captain, this is still a great one day side, just lost a very tight series to another very good side.

morgan seems to sometimes do things as an experiment to see what happens just so he knows for future reference. he's dropped a bollock there though.

I know they can't play spin but they only needed 10.
