Henriques would have been better than this bloke
Bowls rubbish, can't hit the ball...

Picking the right blokes before the toss might help

Less Stonis would help. We needed a hitter in the middle order like Lynn

Cutting should be the permanent number 7 in our T20 side.

Maybe but his bowling is horrific. Don't mind the idea though. Someone like Agar wouldn't be a bad idea as the spinner too.

Cutting wouldn't bowl unless the others were getting pounded. Gun T20 slogger though.

12th - Mitch Marsh
Most digs Wade would probably drop below Cutting and Faulkner tbh. Lots of good options not even in the team above like Shaun Marsh and Cameron White.

Disappointing to wake up to hear we lost. On a bit too late for me last night.

Maybe T20 but have another Shield season like last year and he'll play again.

Maybe, but I am far from convinced, he just seems as 'solid but nothing more at best'.

There have been a few others too, but McGain takes the cake, what an abysmal selection!
It was just a hit-and-giggle T20, guys. We didn't lose another Ashes.
Well he is in the ODI squad so fair to say you will see him again very shortly...
Some very harsh words given he wasn't exactly on his own, all the medium pacers got tonked, but then again Mitch Marsh is the greatest all rounder ever if you believe bigfooty so I suppose he gets a let off for getting smashed and not even being able to score at better than a run a ball in a T20...

I agree, the criticism of Stoinis is a bit over the top. It was one game in which a lot of people failed to cover themselves in glory. But I do think some people feel he is not international quality and won't change their minds unless he delivers something spectacular.
I don't know if he will or won't make it, but I was suitably impressed by his season last year.
Nathan Reardon goes close.

As kind of a side note to this, Mitch Marsh has looked absolutely terrible in every international innings he's played this tour. It's not even that he's only struggling a little bit either; he's looked like a number 8 at best out there: hard hands, nervous as hell when the ball's moving around and a grand total of one innings that wasn't a complete disaster. You would have thought that last night, playing the only format in which he's a better-than-average cricketer, he would've done better, but instead we just get more of the same.
But then again, this is a bloke who has averaged more than 25 in a Shield season exactly once in his life, so I guess you get what you pay for...
