Australia’s capitulation to England in the ICC T20 World Cup Super 12 game here has left one of the country’s legends, Shane Warne, demanding wholesale changes in the team. Disappointed with the eight-wicket loss, the spin wizard took to social media to flay the side’s selection, saying that, Australia need to change the team, and added that poor strategy and tactics had led the side down.

Australia could put only 125 on the board with Chris Jordan accounting for three wickets—that of skipper Aaron Finch (44), Steve Smith (1) and Pat Cummins (12)—while Chris Woakes had the dangerous opener David Warner for one run, and also got the prized wicket of T20 specialist Glenn Maxwell (6). In reply, England wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler singlehandedly guided his side to victory, scoring a masterful unbeaten 71 off 32 deliveries to finish the contest in 11.4 overs.
