Came here specifically to get an answer to this question

Can't drop either of them on form. If Green is to be included it will require a reshuffle of the batting order to accommodate him. The difficult decision will come when Warner is fit to return to the team.

Kerrie calling Warnie a "swordsman" on air has been the highlight of the game so far

Should be Wade. Keep the rest of the team in position and settled

Henriques haters, form an orderly line to submit your apologies please

The format is fine. The pitch is slow and Henriques was a savvy selection. Starc is simply woefully out of form.

His bowling is perfectly suited to this pitch. If he and Maxwell can split 10 overs at at a reasonable economy rate then they've done their job. Henriques picking up a wicket is a bonus

It's unbelievable. It's almost as if they assessed the wicket and determined that someone who can bowl cutters in the 120's might be useful before picking Henriques

Was always going to be Henriques or Green. It's a common sense selection that doesn't alter the balance of the team.

I'm hoping Green or Henriques replace Stoinis. Even though he had a good start to the shield season, I think the batting looks a bit thin if Abbott comes in.

Bucks is quite literally a coach

Very much doubt he wants to stay, just doesn't have many suitors

Right up there with Brisbane and Hawthorn as the greatest teams of the modern era

The league has always been Swan Hill centric. This further proves it.

Considering Richmond's outs, cats should win this one by plenty

They don't have the same air of invincibility as the Geelong of 07 had but have definitely stamped themselves as one of the teams to beat thus far. As others have mentioned it will be interesting to see how their youngsters are travelling towards the back end of the season, it's only early days.

I don't know about others, but I prefer to watch the game whilst it's being played and then pass comment on it afterwards.

I thought Carlton were better for the majority of the game and we were lucky to escape with the 4 points. As Carlton's players mature they'll get better at closing games out and winning key moments, I certainly wouldn't be disheartened at all if I were a blues fan.

The role the coaches want him to fulfil is all that matters. If he wasn't meeting their expectations he wouldn't be in the team. People need to get off his back.

In: Appleby Out: Aish

The midfield is stacked. Has to play forward.

4 points is 4 points. Important to win ugly sometimes, could make all the difference later in the season

So BBL form is irrelevant but Sheffield Shield form is relevant? To white ball cricket? Your argument is flimsier that Finch's front foot defence. Why on earth would you wait until AFTER the 50 over formats premier event to drop an out of form batsman and try to get a lineup together that will...

Finch didn't manage to smack those "pie throwers" too well when he kitted up for the Renegades this season. You dismissing BBL form because it doesn't suit your argument doesn't make it any less relevant. Where else were they meant to score runs over summer? Would club cricket have impressed...

Both Stoinis and Short, on current form are better openers. How exactly is Short a hail mary?

Khawaja, S.Marsh, Stoinis, Short are all better alternatives to partner Warner at the top of the order based on current form. Finch is absoutely nowhere near it presently and his issues will only be magnified in English conditions

Any combination not involving Finch is the way to go moving forward. Anybody who advocates him remaining in the team has rocks in their head

It was an interesting situation when he was appointed (pre ASADA shitstorm). My assumption was that he was a puppet with an experienced Mark Thompson pulling the strings. Looking back this was probably a silly view, you can't be that good on the field as a player and not have a good amount of...

Putting all the ASADA stuff to one side, was he even that good of a coach? I'm not against him getting a second chance as a senior coach but I can't see him leap frogging other better credentialled candidates should any vacancies arise.

The commentators of Victoria's current Shield game wre hypothesising on the idea of Finch in the middle order. It raises the question of who bats at the top if this were to happen. Team could look something like this: Renshaw Burns/Harris (not a fan of picking off one innings but some seem to...
