News about Travis Head

The Australian skipper (pictured left and right with wife Becky and son Albie) is busy preparing for an extremely busy summer that will see his team take on Pakistan and India - and once that's done, a new challenge awaits him.

The Aussie skipper is getting in some quality family time near his multi-million-dollar home in Sydney's east with just weeks left before he gets tied up with a jam-packed summer of cricket featuring series against Pakistan and India.

England are slight outsiders at 6/5 to win Friday's fourth ODI against rivals Australia at Lord's. Meanwhile, the visitors are 4/6 favourites to be victorious and sew up the series. There are also three Price Boosts available for this match-up - the first of which includes England to win the match, hit the most sixes and the most fours at 6/1. Meanwhile, the other two boosts require Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Mitch Marsh and Travis Head to each hit a six at 8/1, and Brook to score the most runs for England and Steve Smith to score the most runs for Australia at 25/1.

RICHARD GIBSON AT TRENT BRIDGE: England's one-day reset began with an anti-climactic defeat catalysed by illness-hit Australia's part-time bowlers. Travis Head's unbeaten 154, the biggest one-day international score by an Australian in this country, plus 77 not out from Marnus Labuschagne opened up a 1-0 series lead with 36 balls unused. But it was rare contributions with the ball from the fourth-wicket duo that were at the heart of embarrassing England in the first one-day international since Matthew Mott was sacked as coach.

LAWRENCE BOOTH: You might think it impossible to rob England v Australia of its lustre, but then you probably weren't in Southampton last Wednesday, or in Manchester on Sunday. As Hampshire's Utilita Bowl staged the first of the sides' eight white-ball matches - yes, eight - there was ominous talk of the coldest September this century. Spectators shivered in fleeces, pundits in woolly hats breathed condensation over their mics. The Australians looked as if they had just landed in Antarctica after a week in the Algarve.

Australia made it two straight wins in T20 internationals against England in Hampshire on Wednesday, with Mitch Marsh and Co cruising to a 28-run victory. With the win, the visitors take a 1-0 series lead into Friday's second T20 international at Cardiff's Sophia Gardens Cricket Ground. As a result of their dominant showing in the series opener, it should comes as no surprise that Australia are odds-on favourites at 4/7 to come away with the victory.

LAWRENCE BOOTH AT THE UTILITA BOWL: England's white-ball reset got off to an underwhelming start last night against Australia in the Southampton gloom on Wednesday evening. Not many were expecting instant fireworks in England's first limited-overs game since the announcement that Brendon McCullum would unite the red- and white-ball coaching roles early next year.

England are 6/5 outsiders with Sky Bet to defeat bitter rivals Australia in their first of three T20 internationals on tonight. Meanwhile, the visitors are odds-on favourites at 4/6. In addition to the head-to-head odds outlined above - there are three Price Boosts on offer for this clash. The first two boosts we will be taking a look at require England to win, hit the most sixes and the most fours at 6/1, and Salt, Liam Livingstone and Mitch Marsh to each hit a six at 3/1. Meanwhile, the third and final boost requires Will Jacks to be England's top runscorer and Travis Head to be Australia's top runscorer. The odds for that particular bet have been enhanced from 12/1 to 16/1.

The cricket WAG, 33, and the Aussie Test cricket captain, 31, confirmed they are expecting their second child together in a sweet Instagram post last month.

Travis Head and Mitch Marsh have clubbed a world record T20 international powerplay score with a brutal display of hitting as Australia launched their white-ball UK tour by thrashing Scotland with more than half their overs to spare.

Becky and Australia's Test cricket captain thrilled their friends and fans with the wonderful news they're having another baby on Wednesday, shortly before she enjoyed a beautiful Sydney day with her son.

The joyful news from the Aussie cricket captain and his wife of two years quickly saw his teammates and their spouses rush to congratulate the couple on Wednesday.

England will face India in Guyana on Thursday, in a repeat of their T20 World Cup semi-final clash in Adelaide two years ago, after the Indians brushed aside Australia by 24 runs in St Lucia. A pulsating 92 off 41 balls from Rohit Sharma set them on their way towards an imposing 205 for five, and not even another superb innings from India's nemesis Travis Head - who spanked 76 off 43 - could take the Australians close. With India always booked-in for Guyana as the ICC look to maximise the South Asian TV audience for Thursday's 10.30am start (3.30pm in the UK), England knew the only way they would end up in the first semi-final - in Trinidad on Sunday - was if Australia replaced India at the top of the group by chasing the runs in 15.3 overs or less.

Skipper Mitch Marsh (left) and the Aussie team need Bangladesh to beat Afghanistan in order to keep their campaign alive after they were beaten easily by India (inset) - and if that doesn't happen, Warner (pictured left after being dismissed) will have scored just six in his last international match.

Australia have suffered a shock 21-run loss to Afghanistan that throws their semi-final hopes into jeopardy at the Twenty20 World Cup. Australia's first-ever loss to Afghanistan came after openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz (60 off 49 balls) and Ibrahim Zadran (51 off 48) defied a fiendish St Vincent wicket for a 118-run stand - the largest opening partnership ever recorded against Australia in T20s. With his second hat-trick in as many games, in-form quick Pat Cummins (3-28) helped Australia claw back and restrict Afghanistan to 6-148 on Sunday (AEST).

Aussie cricketer Travis Head has expressed his regret at the level of boozy celebrations (pictured left) after winning the ODI World Cup last year in India. He also has zero interest in comparisons to fellow cult hero David Boon (right), who drank 52 beers on the flight to England ahead of the 1989 Ashes series.

England are through to the Super Eight stage of the T20 World Cup after Australia did them a favour in St Lucia last night with a tense five-wicket win over Scotland. Jos Buttler's team had done their bit earlier in the day in Antigua, beating Namibia by 41 runs after rain had reduced the game to a 10-over-a-side thrash. But Scotland would have leapfrogged them into the next phase with a victory over the Australians, who had little to play for other than pride after already qualifying. And when Australia slipped to 60 for three in the ninth over, chasing 182 for victory, the Scots were eyeing up arguably the greatest result in their history.

Despite the struggle England face to get out of their group at the T20 World Cup, they remain a very good side. But some of their decision making in the Caribbean has been questionable, and that's why they find themselves in the position they're in now - needing to win big against Oman and Namibia, and hoping group favourites Australia see off Scotland. Going into this tournament, my hunch was that the pitches in the West Indies would help pace-off bowlers.

Australia are in the box seat to top their T20 World Cup group after a 36-run victory over defending champions England, who may need to rely on net run-rate to make the knockout stages. On a Bridgetown deck where runs flowed easily, legspinner Adam Zampa (2-28) was a game-changer for Australia, dispatching openers Jos Buttler and Phil Salt after they made a fast start in pursuit of 202 in Barbados on Saturday (Sunday AEST). Earlier, Australia's openers David Warner (39 from 16 deliveries) and Travis Head (34 from 18) had laid the groundwork for the side's 7-201 - the highest total at the tournament to date.

LAWRENCE BOOTH IN BARBADOS: Two games into their World Cup defence, and England are facing the nightmare scenario of failing to qualify for the Super Eights after a dismal 36-run defeat by Australia at Kensington Oval. If Tuesday's rain-off against Scotland couldn't be helped, their performance here veered between the headless, the hapless and the hopeless. It leaves them needing to beat both Oman and Namibia in Antigua, and pray that the Scots' net run-rate doesn't surpass theirs. Honestly, you couldn't make it up. Rob Key, the ECB's managing director of men's cricket, flies home today, but could find himself returning swiftly to the Caribbean if England bow out before what was supposed to be the start of the serious stuff.

Any time Australia and England clash in a cricket match, whether it be a test, ODI or T20, we should expect fireworks. Fortunately for cricket fans, they will get to see another chapter in this fierce rivalry as the two nations go head-to-head at the T20 World Cup in Barbados on Saturday. Australia won their opening fixture of this year's World Cup, defeating minnows Oman by 39 runs.

The Aussie Test skipper (pictured left with wife Becky Boston, and right playing in the Indian Premier League) has completely changed the trajectory of his stellar career by agreeing to a new job in San Francisco - and he hopes to make connections that will help him in retirement.
