They don't share physical boundaries. They don't have a dubious political relationship. But what they do have is a cricketing rivalry which dates back to 1877. It is Australia taking on England. The white ball rivalry between the two sides might not be in the league of the red ball pot boilers but England's white ball stocks has improved since 2015 and this duel has a new dimensions. The 1970s and 1980s had it on an even keel. The 90s and early 2000s saw Australia dominating the English and then came the Morgan era which saw England giving it back a little. The last time these two teams met in a WC game, it was England who ousted Australia quite easily in the semis of the 2019 WC.

But they are right now at opposite ends of the spectrum. Australia started off with two losses and then have motored on with four wins. England started off on a disastrous note and it has carried on. It has been never ending woes for them. Their campaign has just gotten from bad to worse. They have gone down like a lead balloon. Nothing has gone right for Buttler and his men. Murphy's law has gone into overdrive mode for them. Australia have overpowered a few opponents with sheer power at the top of the order. Pakistan, Netherlands and New Zealand have had to suffer. Warner and Marsh were looking like a formidable duo at the top. But now Head is back and welcomed his comeback with a huge ton. Starc's wicket taking form remains a concern but his class is expected to shine through soon.
