Losing the Ashes urn on Australian soil was nothing less than a nightmare for English players. But the way they came back in the limited over series was terrific. After winning the ODI series 4-1, the visitors are eyeing to clinch the T20I rubber as well. In the practice match against the Australia Prime Minister’s XI on February 2, David Willey smashed 34 runs in an over to Nathan Lyon and made it clear that the Aussies shouldn’t take them lightly.
While chasing an easy total of 137 runs, Willey caused an ‘apocalypse’ in the sixth over when Lyon came to bowl. In the first five balls, Willey smashed 5 sixes to Lyon. On the last delivery, Willey missed the chance to make it six out of six just like Yuvraj, but ended the over with a four.
