Proud Finch Accepts Australia Were Outplayed By England
Australia captain Aaron Finch admitted his team were outclassed as England booked their final date with New Zealand at Lord’s. Finch paid credit to the fourth-wicket partnership of Steve Smith and Alex Carey for at least giving his bowlers a target to work with, as Australia managed to score 223 from 49 overs. But he admitted it was hard to be competitive when England openers Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow started their chase in a blaze of boundaries. Australia’s attentions will now turn to the forthcoming Ashes, with a match between their possibles and probables the next focus before the Test team is finalised, ahead of the series opener back here in Birmingham. And Finch admits Sunday’s final - which will see a new team engraved on the trophy - is difficult to call, while also looking ahead to 2023. (Video: ICC)
