Australia v England - Game 1

Although Australia's entire bowling unit except for Mitchell Starc, who took fours wickets in his 10 overs, was an utter disappointment in Brisbane, Andrew Tye's lacklustre performance stood out.

For the second game in a row, Tye remained wicketless and gave away 47 runs in his 9 overs.

The Perth ScorchersĀ pacer, who made his ODI debut with the first ODI at the MCG on Sunday, was completely ineffective in the previous game as well and he gave away 43 runs in 10 overs without claiming even a single wicket.
