Now to the World Cup

England - excellent toss to win, batting at the Wacca first is very difficult uneven bounce and slightly slow first up.

Positives
Anderson, Broad, Finn look in good nick.  England removed Finch + Warner easily on the difficult initial spell - this should have throttled Australia's momentum so we could struggle to pass 200 odd

Negatives
Morgan - watch that Off stump
England unable to get on top of Australia's middle order and give the knock out punch


Australia

Positives - The finisher again was outstanding, but is now injured and likely to miss the world cup, Maxwell getting some form just at the right time.

Mitch + Mitch a bit wayward at times

Australia will feel good about a win after a shocking start, but they need to improve a lot before they can take on South Africa or NZ on their day.  On another day we could have been all out for 180

England, look a bowler short at times and need to inject something into that middle order
