Australia’s coaches are seeking ways to help bowler Scott Boland better handle England’s aggressive batting after his disappointing performance at Edgbaston. Australia claimed victory in the first Test against England despite Boland conceding runs at a rate of 5.65 an over. Coach Andrew McDonald was surprised by how hard the English batters went after Boland, and is now considering ways to counteract their fearless approach ahead of the second match at Lord’s. Australia is also weighing up the inclusion of fast bowler Mitchell Starc, who has been given clearance to support his wife Alyssa Healy as she captains Australia in the women’s Ashes opener. McDonald said the decision to not play Starc at Edgbaston was based on conditions and the team’s selection strategy. However, the return of Starc could be a possibility ahead of the upcoming matches.
