What are we thinking of or ODI team make up moving forward?
Finch and Warner should remain opening for the immediate future, however both are 33 and will probably not be a fixture of our next World Cup team (both would be 37). Trying to name their potential replacements leaves us with nothing but speculation and conjecture, as their retirement is probably around 2-3 years away. I think it's more productive to talk about our immediate future, rather than crystal balling too much.
Therefore I'd love to get everyone's opinions on our ODI side moving into the 2019/20 Australian summer.
For me it's:
Finch
Warner
Wade
Smith
Handscomb
Maxwell
Carey
Cummins/Pattinson
Starc
J. Richardson
Zampa/Lyon
That leaves us with only the one all rounder in Maxwell (who I'm not fully convinced of) but personally, it doesn't bother me too much. I figure Maxxy can bowl at least 6 and the other 4 can be made up by Smith, Wade and Finch. Maybe if an all rounder presents themselves over the summer (dare i say Mitch Marsh, perhaps?) then they could easily replace Handscomb.
But that would be my 11 starting off this summer.
Thoughts?
