- Australia win second ODI | Sign up for The Spin
England, who were undone by spin in Melbourne, may have even more to deal with today. The Hobart pitch is drier than expected and Australia may recall Georgia Wareham in place of Darcie Brown. England’s Kate Cross will have a fitness test this morning; if she passes it you’d expect her to replace Lauren Filer.
The deciding game of a series isn’t always the decisive one. Australia can’t officially retain the Ashes tonight, but realistically it will be a done deal if they win the third ODI in Hobart. A series that has been criticised for being too compressed is in danger of becoming an anticlimactic waste of time.
