Australia vs England: Maxwell sustains another injury

The RCB (Royal Challengers Bangalore) and Australia veteran, Maxwell has increased selection woes for Australia. Maxwell seemingly struck the right form by slamming the fastest ODI World Cup hundred but has now sustained an injury that has put his future in jeopardy. The injury was not that was sustained in training, gym, or during a match but due to an extremely bizarre reason. 

It is being said that the Australian all-rounder slipped and fell from the back of a golf cart, hitting his head in the process. Australia somehow managed to get Maxwell fit for the World Cup in time. Last year too, Maxwell ended up injuring himself during a 50th birthday party of his friend. Looking at Maxwell's form and how tense the situation is at the points table, the Aussies certainly have to choose someone who can deliver both with the bat and the ball.

England vs Australia: A Rivalry beyond The Ashes

England vs Australia at the ODI World Cups has always been a spectacle to behold. It all started when Australia edged past England to win their maiden World Cup in 1987. Coincidentally, that World Cup too was played in India. The mighty Aussies have faced England in 9 matches in ICC ODI World Cup tournaments. Out of the 9 matches, Australia have won 6 contests making it a one-sided affair so far.
