Duckett Looks Perfect In England's ODI Top Order, Says Atherton
Sky Sports Cricket: Former England captain Michael Atherton believes Ben Duckett is a perfect fit at the top order in ODIs, especially after he hit a century against Australia in Bristol. His efforts, though, weren’t enough for England to avoid a 3-2 series defeat, as Australia were handed a 49-run victory via DLS method.
Left-handed opener Duckett’s ton at Bristol took his tally of runs across the five ODIs to 305, thus making his case strong for being given a consistent run in the format. "Ben Duckett looks just about right at the top of the order and it will be very interesting to see who opens with him.
"It is easy to say in hindsight, but what clearly happened is that the selectors showed too much faith in the World Cup-winning side of 2019. So, when Duckett came into the Test side, he did very well at the start of Bazball, I was very surprised he wasn't then the first choice for ODI."
