Bill, Hussey and Nicholas actually work quite well together in the commentary box.

And now we have to listen to these 3 halfwits for the next half hour..

This is making for very interesting selections in the Champions trophy. This being the last match of the series will make it easier for the selectors to not pick Voges but it's still very difficult to drop someone who made a hundred in their last match. The latest he would probably get picked at would be six so the only way to fit them in would be like this:

Watson
Wade
Hughes
Clarke
Bailey
Voges
Maxwell

I can't see Warner being dropped so it's much more likely Voges will just be put to the side.

Take out Maxwell and Wade, replace with Ferguson and Paine and you have yourself a quality one day side. Voges can play the spin role.

Limited stats are fun. Going by your theory - Voges is the best ODI batsman in the world at the moment, average of 52.
So how exactly has he not performed at FC and test level. That's what you said? What more do you want from your opener? You clearly hate Warner and nothing he does will convince you that he is good

He's well behind the pecking order for Aus. Clarke, Bailey, Maxwell all got to fit into the ODI team. And just about anyone can play T20 given a good match or two in any format.
Finch out, Voges in. Finch is a great domestic player, just hasn't got his head right in ODIs.

I dont call being a flat track bully good. I call it average.
