Australia are considered favourites for the upcoming Twenty20 series, even after the Ashes debacle.
Normally a Twenty20 international match is contested very closely; it does seem a slight surprise that Australia are favourites here; especially, when England have won their last 7 Twenty20 contests. Paul Collingwood captains the England side which includes Steven Davies, Luke Wright, Michael Lumb and Michael Yardy. They are rich in batting options and the kind of bowlers who can take the pace off the ball and strangle the game. Ian Bell returns, and he’s also been in excellent form.
With Michael Clarke abruptly quitting as Australian captain, there will be just three of the Ashes squad involved. Among those returning are Cameron White, as captain, and two very dangerous pace men in Shaun Tait and Brett Lee, while opener David Warner is a T20 specialist who can blast away quickly at the top of the order.
