A week of quietly watching Australian cricket descend into civil war ended with smiles being wiped from English faces as a stunning debut from fast bowler Mahli Beardman consigned the tourists to an all-too-familiar hammering in Perth.Victory in a low-key one-day international was never going to atone for the galling start to that failed Ashes campaign here 12 months ago. Nevertheless, England appeared better prepared, while their hosts were missing their big three fast bowlers and fighting sandpaper-related bushfires off the field.
