England has managed to avoid a prospect of 10-0 Ashes and one-day series whitewash following their 57-run win in the fourth one-day international (ODI) against Australia at the WACA Ground on Friday.
Australia's decision to rest a host of star batsmen backfired as they fell well short in a daunting run chase of 317 after being bowled out for 259 in the 48th over despite another century from opener Aaron Finch.
According to News.com.au, the tourists were helped by Australia's decision to rest Michael Clarke, David Warner, Shane Watson and Brad Haddin, along with stand-in skipper George Bailey's decision to send the opposition in.
The report mentioned that the hosts gave up the No.1 spot in the rankings just two days after taking over from India as even though their patched-up batting line-up was filled with players with a personal point to prove, but Finch could not find any meaningful support as his team collapsed.
