Australia debutant Mahli Beardman takes five wickets as England collapse

sportsNov 13, 202617154

Mahli Beardman took five wickets on his ODI debut for Australia in Perth, finishing with figures reported as 5 for 14 off 4.4 overs. England collapsed early, slipping to around 7 for 60 and later 63 for 7 as Beardman and the Australian attack dominated. Beardman celebrated his fifth wicket emphatically and was presented with his first ODI cap by Mike Hussey; posts note he went to school with Hussey’s son Will. The performance came in the opening match of the Australia v England white-ball series that begins 13 December, leaving England deep trouble in the first game.

To be clear, England, when I said I didn't want you to come over here with your 350ish v 350ish ODI nonsense, I also didn't mean 150ish v 150ish ODI nonsense. I just want normal, decent, proper ODI cricket please. #AUSvENG 🏏

This ODI might be over faster than last year’s Perth Ashes test #AUSvENG

England all out for 131, which is a lot better than expected at 65/8. Jacks and Atkinson helped prevent a total embarrassment but it's Mahli Beardman's day. 21, on debut, home ground, 6 wickets for 24 runs. At least England can try and disrupt the Aussie batting but there's one one winner #AUSvENG

Not countinjg chickens yet but Australia appear to have found another good fast bowler - 21 yr old Mahli Beardman. He took 6 for 24 in the comprehensive defeat of the Poms. Fingers crossed.

He decimated them today. Next match in Adelaide on Sunday. Lots of good young cricketers in this squad.

Now let’s not let cricket come between us Sam. 🤷‍♀️🥰

This is tricky. It's always good to see a new young player break through. However, I'd prefer it if he did it at another series and definitely not in the Ashes matches.

Oh good - we needed to face that... 🤦‍♂️

Mahli Beardman doesn’t bother with the traditional cricketer’s middle initials, no Keiths or Rodgers for him, he’s too busy taking wickets for any of that malarkey. 🏏
