Having assumed WA's No.3 role due to Shaun Marsh's various injuries and eventual retirement this season, young gun Teague Wyllie has an opportunity to make ...

"I've played 12 or 13 four-day games this year with still a few more to come … to make the No.3 spot his own for a long period of time. "I was working on a farm full-time, I was training full-time, and then I was trying to play a little bit of golf and I was pretty burnt out. By his own admission it's been a "challenging" season since that first ton, but it's not through a lack of dedication. He'll do so in the batting position occupied by Marsh for most of his career, which WA head coach Adam Voges says he has a chance to make his own "for a long time" like legendary left-hander did over the past decade.

India's performance has come under heavy scrutiny after their series loss to Australia. Read more here.

Leg-spinner Adam Zampa took four wickets as Australia beat India by 21 runs to clinch the three-match one-day international series 2-1 on Wednesday.

"You are born and brought up on these wickets. Patel was run out for two and Suryakumar fell for a first-ball duck for the third time in a row. Kohli tried to forge partnerships with KL Rahul (32) and with Pandya but he looked tired by the end.

Electing to bat, Australia could not capitalise on a strong start and were bowled out for 269 in 49 overs on a slow track at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Their bowlers, led by Zampa, did an excellent job defending the total and bowled out India for 248 in 49.1 overs as Australia exacted a modicum of revenge after losing the four-test series 2-1.

"I don't feel like I deserve this (player of the match award) to be honest with you. There was a surprise in the batting order when the returning Warner, who had finally recovered from a hairline fracture in his elbow and a quad issue, was named to bat at No.4. Agar clean bowled Yadav next delivery. Zampa was named man of the match after claiming the scalps of Shubman Gill (37), KL Rahul (32), Hardik Pandya (40) and Ravindra Jadeja (18), while Marsh took the player of the series honours. Agar snared Virat Kohli (54 off 72 balls) and Suryakumar Yadav (0) in consecutive balls in the 36th over to help transform the game. Australia have nabbed top spot on the ODI rankings after spinners Adam Zampa and Ashton Agar came to the rescue in a series-deciding, 21-run victory over India in Chennai.
