After going down 2-1 in their three-match T20I series against England, Australia’s players get marked out of 10.

David Warner 4/10

58 runs @ 29, SR: 116, HS: 58

A slow fifty in the first game, in which he played perhaps the worst shot of Australia’s car crash of a chase, and a duck in the second.

Aaron Finch 7/10

125 runs @ 41.66, SR: 137.36, HS: 46

40-odds of varying briskness in each game, top-scoring in two out of Australia’s three innings. If you’re being harsh, you’d point to Jos Buttler’s red inker in the second game as an example to follow, but this was a good series for the bat with Australia’s skipper.

Matthew Wade 6/10

14 runs @ 14, SR: 155.55, HS: 14

Played one of the shots of the summer – a huge pick-up over square leg off Jofra Archer – in his breezy 14 off nine.

Marcus Stoinis 6/10

84 runs @ 42, SR: 135.48, HS: 35

A series of steady hands. Couldn’t finish off the first game, but earned his promotion, and looked good value for it.

Alex Carey 1.5/10

3 runs @ 1.50, SR: 25, HS: 2

Looked out of place as a finisher and a top-order bat, which has largely been the story of Carey’s now-quite-lengthy T20I career. Matthew Wade didn’t have to do much to seem a much more attractive wicketkeeping option.

Steve Smith 4/10

31 runs @ 10.33, SR: 140.90, HS: 18

A couple of starts and a failure. This were the types of scores and surfaces built for the Australian anchor, and he rarely misses out in any conditions, let alone favourable ones, so this was a rare misfire.

Glenn Maxwell 5/10

33 runs @ 11, SR: 106.45, HS: 26, 2 wickets @ 15, ER: 6, BBI: 2-14

One good finishing hand, one failure, and a struggle in the third game. Proved very economical with the ball, however.

Mitchell Marsh 5.5/10

39 runs, SR: 108.33, HS: 39*

Kept his nerve in the dead rubber, although in a way it was a cake walk made to look like a hard slog.

Kane Richardson 7/10

3 wickets @ 21, ER: 7, BBI: 2-13

Bowled superbly in the opening game, figuring out the right method for the surface quickly and sticking to his plans well. But it seemed like England had worked him out in the second. So it will be hugely encouraging how he bounced back in the finale, with the only three boundaries he conceded coming via the edge of Joe Denly.

Mitchell Starc 6.5/10

2 wickets @ 75, ER: 6.81, BBI: 1-20

Was smashed in the first game, miserly in the second and third even while bowling at the toughest times, and rapid throughout.

Josh Hazlewood 7.5/10

1 wicket @ 23, ER: 5.75, BBI: 1-23

A Test-match-like opening spell kept England, albeit a weakened England, quiet in the third T20I. Barely plays T20Is these days – this was his first game since 2016 – but that might well change.

Adam Zampa 2.5/10

3 wickets @ 41, ER: 10.39, BBI: 2-34

England took a liking to the leggie this series, although he did at least plunder a couple of key wickets among the carnage in the dead rubber.

Ashton Agar 7/10

43 runs @ 21.50, SR: 113.15, HS: 23, 5 wickets @ 18.80, ER: 7.83, BBI: 2-27

Ashton Agar was exceptional with the ball, largely keeping the runs down, and finishing as Australia’s leading wicket taker too. Might not quite have the muscle for No.7, however.

Pat Cummins 5.5/10

1 wicket @ 48, ER: 8.00, BBI: 1-24, 13 runs, SR: 260, HS: 13*

Three overs for 24 in both his appearances is the definition of neither here nor there. Gets an extra half point for his 13 off 5 in his one hit out.
