ADELAIDE: England won the toss and chose to bat against Australia in the fourth one-day international at the Adelaide Oval on Wednesday. Australia lead the seven-match series 3-0 after wins in Melbourne, Hobart and Sydney, and named an unchanged side from the winning team at the SCG on Sunday. England were forced to leave out spinner Graeme Swann and allrounder Tim Bresnan, who were both sent home early because of injury in a bid to have them fit for next month's World Cup. Swing bowler James Anderson returned for his first game of the series at the expense of youngster Chris Woakes, while Kevin Pietersen was recalled for Luke Wright. Teams Australia - Michael Clarke (captain), Shane Watson, Brad Haddin, Cameron White, David Hussey, Shaun Marsh, Steve Smith, John Hastings, Xavier Doherty, Brett Lee, Doug Bollinger. England - Andrew Strauss (captain), Matt Prior, Jonathan Trott, Kevin Pietersen, Paul Collingwood, Ian Bell, Eoin Morgan, Michael Yardy, James Anderson, Chris Tremlett, Ajmal Shahzad. |
