Siddle stays? Lol.
Hohns: Maxwell hasnât played tests for a while
Also Hohns: Wade played recently so he is firmly in our minds
Both played their last test in September 2017
With this humidity, they will swing the ball a mile.
Might be worth saving some time and just have Finch retire hurt before facing the first ball
Get Maxwell out of your head, theyâll never pick him again.
I would love to have Patto in there, he will destroy the Poms.
I would have Wade at 6 but he wonât be getting picked any time soon
CA = TA
Mustâve listened when you gave him a pasting in here a few weeks ago!
Yeah he has had two good games in a row, played very well (he did get dropped twice last night though).
I love Watto but he shouldnât even be thought about for international level now, itâs time to move on.
the fact he may be being thought of is where Australian cricket is firmly parked right now. with multiple tickets under the wipers.
Carey gone, good delivery and good captaincy to have a 2nd slip.
Carey needs to be moved down the order and Short opening.
almost perfect conditions for swing bowling. Cloud cover, new ball, bit of moisture in the surface and itâs humid
I donât know why they havenât brought Short in for this last ODI and given Carey a bat in the middle order.
Depending on how Warner and Smith come back from injury the selectors may be tempted to give Handscomb the gloves (although he is a fantastic fielder in his own right)
Top order collapses again, 2-27. Finch gone LBW for 14.
Bunny?
Finch has just simply been worked out and hadnât been able to adapt. Always been a limited batsman
Finch, the captain, has to be moved to the middle order otherwise he needs to be dropped.
Playing him in the tests has ruined him
Ridiculous batting right now, top order has put us under all sorts again so weâre playing ultra defensive and scoring very slowly, meaning again, the best we might hope for is 260-300.
That is part of the problem, the other part is you have the two slowest scorers in at the same time, that is stupid coaching 101.
38 runs after 13 overs, for 2 wickets
Says it all really.
I will so though, that this pitch is probably not going to be one to produce a high score under the circumstances.
