So international form is relevant, yet you don't think Short should get a game to see if his domestic form translates into international form. Finch has 0 form and Warner hasn't played for 12 months.International form is the most relevant, Short has little. His last ODI stint was awful to say the least. You are absolutely gambling on a bloke who hasn’t even performed at the top level Internationally even at t20 level where he is outstanding domestically.
You aren’t dropping your captain who has multiple hundreds and winning performances for a complete Hail Mary. You will always be giving the performed one more chances it’s just the way it is. I know I’d want Finch opening in a World Cup rather than Short.
Crikey, you're painting yourself into a corner.
