"All-Australian" team from BBL Squads

[Ronnie Baby]

West - Scorchers, Strikers, Renegades, Thunder

Finch
Marsh
Dunk
Head
White
Turner
Marsh
Cummins
Willey
Narine
Hogg

East - Heat, Hurricanes, Stars, Sixers

Paine
Wright
KP
McCollum
Maxwell
Henriques
Christian
Faukner
Botha
Abbott
Badree

Probably too many allrounders in that second line up - no point having Botha at 9! Maybe have Cutting or Broad instead of Botha, or Henriques/Faulkner.

How about Chris Lynn? You heard of him?

Overrated hack...

 

[JG22]

1. McCullum
2. Finch
3. Lynn
4. KP
5. Paine
6. Marsh
7. Cummins
8. Willey
9. Narine
10. Tye
11. Hogg

 

[Cainozz]

My team for the Australian T20 matches

1. Finch (c)
2. Dunk (wk)
3. White
4. Lynn
5. Maxwell
6. M Marsh
7. Faulkner
8. Cummins
9. Abbott
10. Tye
11. Ahmed

5 pace options, 2 spin options to slow up the middle overs

Plenty of explosive batting power

 

[eth-dog]

I would go with:

Finch (c)
Paine (+)
Lynn
Maxwell
M Marsh
Faulkner
Cutting
Cummins
Tye
Green
Boyce

Green may be a controversial one but he has a T20 average of 22 and econ rate of 6.9. He's very good in this format.

 

[Mego Red]

How about Chris Lynn? You heard of him?

Lol - that WAS a pretty terrible oversight.

Don't mind it, but wouldn't mind seeing another spinner in there for Abbott. Agar?

Will probably be in India at that point. I reckon Green could fill the void. He cops s**t on here but he's been pretty good in the BBL this year.

Green has been good in the BBL, I think it's a good call.

I think the team you picked above doesn't require Cutting due to his poor batting form. If we are picking on this tournament alone...

Aaron Finch
Tim Paine (+)
Chris Lynn
Brad Hodge (c)
Mitch Marsh
Glenn Maxwell (hard to pick this one, will just go on SR mainly)
Pat Cummins
Chris Green
Mark Steketee
Brad Hogg
AJ Tye
12th - Sean Abbott

It seems crazy to pick Cummins at 7 but you can't have him lower based on merit!

Maybe, but I'd still pick Boyce ahead of Hogg. Every time Hogg's been picked in T20I's he's been found out. Do like the Steketee call, has been good as well.

Ah but this is an AA squad from the BB, not a T20I selection. Hogg is pretty much first picked!

Yeah, fair point

 

[Marklar_33]

Something else we could do, Australians vs the Internationals:

Paine (+)
Finch (c)
Maxwell
Lynn
Turner
Marsh
Agar
Faulkner
Cummins
Boyce
Tye

McCullum (c)
Wright
Pieterson
Sangakkara (+)
Billings
Pollard
Willey
Russell
Jordan
Broad
Narine
Badree

I reckon the Internationals would win honestly.

Get Pollard out for Roy would be my call

 

[eth-dog]

Get Pollard out for Roy would be my call

Roy can basically only open, so it's for either Wright or McCullum

 

[Marklar_33]

Throw one at 3. Pollard doesn't do it for me

 

[eth-dog]

Eh, he's a special talent. In T20's I like to have a lot of bowling options. There are 8 in the Australian side.

Sanga out for Roy and Billings to keep wicket

Actually yeah cause Kumar has been quite putrid!

 

[ioppolo]

Quiney
Klinger/Finch
Lynn
White
M Marsh
Dunk (wk)
??
Abbott
Green/Ahmed
Hogg
Tye

Hard to get a decent balance imo.

Abbott shouldn't be in there. He's had one good game and 5 s**t ones quite frankly. Right now it'd be:

Quiney
Dunk (+)
Lynn
White
M Marsh
Henriques
Christian
Cummins
Steketee
Swepson
Tye

Christian hasn't done enough with the bat to be considered imo.

Fair enough.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Could make a case for someone like Botha in that position. Done very well for the Sixers. Eligible for Australia.

I considered him but I don't really rate his batting consistency.
