Mitch Marsh has hailed the "special" talent of three of his Australian matchwinners as Travis Head, Adam Zampa and Josh Hazlewood combined expertly to sink new-look England in the first T20 international at Southampton.
Head illuminated a chilly, dank evening at the Rose Bowl, crashing a record-breaking half-century to ignite some early Australian fireworks in the convincing 28-run triumph on Wednesday.
The see-it-hit-it opener blasted the fastest ever T20I half-century by an Australian batter against England off just 19 balls, eventually going on to 59 off 23 after the visitors had been put in by stand-in captain Phil Salt.
