Australian bowlers fire England batting line

Australia in the first ODI of the five match series are right back to their bowling form and for the first time in this time the Kangaroos looked a lot threatening. The bowled right in their parameters and their fielding also helped their bowlers a lot.
In the middle over Australia were able to take 3 batsmen out in three consecutive balls. Coulter-Nile missed his hat trick but before Shane Watson gave the big break through when he took the English middle order wall Eoin Morgan.
Morgan was caught behind the wicket by Wade. It was a short ball right on the body of Morgan from Watson. Morgan inserted a pull but it was quick from Watson and the ball kissed the glove of Morgan and went into the safe hands of Wade.
Next was Butler who on the very first ball of the next over bowled by Coulter-Nile tried to go aerial over the mid-off where Shaun Marsh was fielding. It went straight into his chest and the big man caught his with ease.
Two poor shots from the English batsmen. Already a lot of wickets were down and plenty of overs left, they should have stayed in the crease to give solidity to the innings. Woakes joined the legion too when he too played a rash shot.
He too chased one down the leg side and eventually gloved it down to Wade again. The ball was not even short of length but somehow he was able to play it this badly. Coulter-Nile missed his yorker and ended up giving a full toss to Adil.
He missed his hat trick yet the Australians did manage to take one as a team. Crossing 200 looks a but difficult for the Englishmen the way they are losing their wickets would make them fall under the 200 runs land mark.
