Scotland Unfazed by Australia's 'Easy' Tactics Suggestion

Michael Jones, the captain of the Scotland cricket team, has expressed amusement at Josh Hazlewood's suggestion that Australia might ease up on his team in their upcoming Group B match on Sunday. Hazlewood had hinted that Australia could "drag it out" to preserve Scotland's net run-rate, potentially aiding England's chances of elimination.

Jones, however, took the remarks in good humor, joking that he would welcome David Warner opening the bowling for Australia. He acknowledged the intense rivalry between England and Australia and stated that Scotland would not complain if Australia chose to play a weakened team.

Despite the lighthearted banter, Jones emphasized that Scotland is fully prepared for a competitive match against Australia. He praised the Australian team's professionalism and diligence and expressed his team's eagerness to challenge themselves against the best in the tournament.

"To have the opportunity to bat against Jofra Archer, Mark Wood, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Mitchell Starc, that's the best in the world," Jones said. "Those are the opportunities we crave as Scotland teams. You want to challenge yourself and see how far you go against those guys."

Jones acknowledged that Australia is likely to field a strong team on Sunday, but he expressed confidence in Scotland's ability to rise to the challenge. He emphasized that his team's goal is to achieve the best possible result and prove their worth on the international stage.
