England won the toss and elected to bowl Sunday in the series-opening one-day cricket global against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Interestingly, he last played in 2015 for Australia and that too against England.

"That is an option", said Morgan. Aaron Finch ensured that the pressure goes back on England after all those early wickets. "They're good one-day bowlers and a good one-day outfit so it's a good challenge". Jake Ball, Sam Billings, Dawid Malan, Tom Curran and David Willey have been left out.

"Everyone has been playing plenty of cricket so it won't be a case of England being rusty".

While the recently concluded Ashes series unfolded at an attritional pace, both sides are likely to approach the next five games in a more cavalier fashion.

England picked Alex Hales to bat at No. 3 ahead of test captain Joe Root and ODI captain Eoin Morgan.

They have a better record than any other team since the last World Cup winning 34 of 53 matches.

"We had that discussion a few days ago, I suggested to him that he shouldn't play, that he should have a break", Bayliss was quoted as saying by British media on Tuesday.

"Australia present different challenges and, hopefully, we can adapt to them". "It's not often you get free rein and ambition to be as adventurous as you like". The all-rounder claimed 2-28 from 10 overs in the warm-up victory over a Cricket Australia XI this week. Chris Woakes will bowl to Aaron Finch. Through the naturally aggressive instincts of Morgan and also the wise counsel of the assistant coach Paul Farbrace, England had already been moving in that direction by the time Bayliss arrived, and the progress has continued since. "He signed a contract until 2019 and has always said the same thing". "TB has been brilliant", England's limited-overs captain said.

"Trevor Bayliss doesn't say a lot, but what he does say, everybody listens to and takes on board". More importantly, the wickets that we've played on, we've adapted to them.

From an Australia perspective, the build-up to the series has been dominated by debate over a player not in the team.

Maxwell, who averages 32 with the bat and nearly 39 with the ball, was again overlooked for 34-year-old Cameron White when Chris Lynn was forced out through injury. "It is astonishing - he would be my first player on the team sheet".

"Guys up top have been scoring some big runs".

Yet there has been little correlation between the results of recent Ashes series down under and the subsequent one-day series.
