All eyes on Australian leg-spinner Boyce vs England in T20 clash

Australian leg-spinner Cameron Boyce will be the cynosure of all eyes in the one-off T20 International against England here on Tuesday.

Boyce is the sole specialist T20 player in Australia's limited-overs squad, and David Warner says the Queenslander's vast array of deliveries is what has made him a success in the shortest format of the game.

"Cameron's a very consistent leg-spin bowler, it's hard to find a consistent leg-spinner these days. He's got a lot of variations which is great and the key to Twenty20 is mixing it up. I'm looking forward to seeing what he can produce. We've seen him before, and (we're) really excited to see him and how he goes," Warner was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au on Sunday.

Boyce has had a fantastic start to his T20 International career. Debuting against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates last October, he has captured six wickets in four games at 13.66 with a strike-rate of 15. More importantly, the 26-year-old has conceded only 5.46 runs per over off his bowling.

Boyce was picked for Australia off the back of his sterling Big Bash League performances for the Hobart Hurricanes. In his two seasons in Hobart, Boyce has taken 20 wickets in 14 matches at 17.5 and helped the club to a Champions League T20 appearance last year.

Stand-in skipper Steve Smith says Boyce's ability to identify a batsman's game plan and adapt accordingly is one of his biggest strengths as T20 bowler.

"I think as a leg-spinner you've really got to read the batsmen quite well. (And) I think he does that. He knows when someone is going to step down at him and try hit him for six, and when they're going to sit back. He adjusts his length and his pace quite well so I'm looking forward to seeing him bowl out here," he said.
