George Bailey set to lead Australia in the fourth ODI against England

George Bailey

George Bailey has left his hip flexor injury behind him and is all set be skipper of the Australian team that face off against England in the 4th ODI in Australia.

Bailey was in confident mood and said: “I’m 100 percent good to go.”

Australia are comfortably ahead in the 5-match series and are willing to rest some of their senior players in Michael Clarke, David Warner, Shane Watson, and Brad Haddin, which has given England a sniff of a long awaited victory in the tour.

However, Bailey said that the team will still take some beating: “It probably is their best chance. But having said that, I reckon our team is still pretty good.

“I’m not that fussed about what England think or how they’re going.”

“It’s been a hell of a summer and we won’t be coming in nonchalant or complacent about what’s ahead of us.”

Australia leapfrogged India to the number 1 ranking in ODI and lie one rating ahead (118 compared to India’s 117).

Australia’s squad for the 4th ODI :  Aaron Finch, Shaun Marsh, Bailey, Steven Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Matthew Wade (wk), Daniel Christian, James Faulkner, Mitchell Johnson, Nathan Coulter-Nile, James Pattinson.
