Warne blasts Smith choice as England mauls Australia
Print Edition
Former spinner Shane Warne has questioned the inclusion of Steve Smith in Australia鈥檚 line-up at the Twenty20 World Cup in a scathing assessment of the country鈥檚 loss against England on Saturday.
Warne, one of the all-time great spin bowlers, criticized team selection on social media after Australia slumped to an eight-wicket loss as England chased down 125 with more than eight overs remaining. 鈥淒isappointing selection from Australia leaving (Mitch) Marsh out & (Glenn) Maxwell batting in the power play (he should always come in after power play),鈥 he wrote on Twitter. 鈥(Marcus) Stoinis should have gone in. Poor strategy & tactics from the Aussies. I love Smith but he shouldn鈥檛 be in the T/20 team. Marsh has to be.鈥 Former test captain Smith is widely viewed as one of the leading batsmen in the longer version of the game but struggled against England in Dubai, scoring one run off five balls. Warne praised Eoin Morgan鈥檚 team, which now sits on top of Group 1 in the 12-team Super 12 phase of the competition with six points from its opening three matches. The top two teams from each of the two six-nation groups advance to the semifinals. Pakistan currently leads Group 2 ahead of Afghanistan.
