Australia have now lost 13 of their last 15 completed ODIs with their last bilateral series win coming back in January 2017 against Pakistan. Since then, they have lost to New Zealand, India, and more recently to England at home earlier this year. They now stand on the cusp of a fourth successive series loss and Finch admitted there have been far too many mistakes on their part.

“There have been some times where we’ve really let ourselves down with the bat,” said Finch ahead of the all-important third ODI against England at Trent Bridge.

“It’s about minimising a little bit of risk at times,” said Finch. “In the past we’ve been ultra-aggressive against spin and we’re probably still going with that [tactic] a little bit at times rather than taking the game a little bit deeper.

“Whether that’s through a lack of attention to detail or trying to up the ante too much and push the game forward when we just need to hold a little bit … only the individual knows what their role is in the side at the time, in that partnership, in that scenario.”
