clear indication cummins, starc and hazlewood want to play all 7 tests this summer.

also gives us an idea moving forward of what our next world cup side may look like and we will have ready made bowlers.
it may be a stretch for maxwell and smith to make it by then but they could feature in the champions trophy in 14 months time.

Would have been a good opportunity to give Head some international captaincy experience with Cummins being rested and Head being next in line for the test job.

Glad to see Short and Hardie in there.

What a shame about Stoinis, I think he has real potential.

 

[Westend]

stoinis ODI over

why smith as captain and no Mitch Marsh ??

perfect opportunity to give the captaincy to head or Marsh

 

[Hamingja]

Nevermind the one dayers are after the big bash this year

who knows they may land the role in the T20 format.

still no announcement on who is the permanent T20 captain since finch retired late 2022.

With his bowling load he's getting rested like the other Test quicks.

Curious how Sean Abbott gets continually selected.

Why not rest Maxwell from the 1 dayers and let him play some shield cricket.

Why not rest Maxwell from the 1 dayers and let him play some shield cricket.

Because he's basically just a white ball player now.

Maxwell for sure is just a white ball player,no one knows these days how good he would now be with red ball games if not given an opportunity.

It definitely is a "what if" scenario, but with Head and Marsh in the team now we can see the benefit of the wild card

Thought Marsh was confirmed as T20 captain last month?

wade captained the side in india for the 5 match series last month.

 

[Cmarsh]

Really happy that Jhye Richardson gets another shot at International level after such as wretched run of injury.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

I think McDermott deserves another crack

Curious how Sean Abbott gets continually selected.

Has a central contract and a decent List A record. Been pretty average in the step up, though

I repeat yet again sorry,"Maxwell is the biggest waste of talent we have lost to Test Cricket because of every one wanting him to play white ball cricket only"

Arguably been better than every other fast bowler not named Cummins, Starc or Hazlewood Australia has tried in the last 4 or so years in ODI cricket.

 

[BStaff17]

I would have picked Jake Fraser McGurk and given him a taste.

Ollie Davies probably needs another solid 12 months of domestic form to build on as well. I see him as a potential WC 2027 player in the middle order.

But JFM i reckon was perfect timing to give him a few ODIs and see what he can do.

2018 when we lost smith & warner was the time to give Maxwell 12 months of red ball cricket and see what he can do when we had a depleted line up.

It really is strange he never got 1 test in Australia.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Why not rest Maxwell from the 1 dayers and let him play some shield cricket.

I get Maxwell is popular with the general public, which is well deserved because his a legend with fans when his out and about but he is 35 years old, Maxwell fans need to give up on the idea his going to get another crack in Tests. The schedule over the next 3 years pretty much puts a nail in it, we have 2 Tests against Sri Lanka and thats in 2025, no other subcontinent Test Matches. Extremely easy run for Australia Test matches so batsmen will fill there boots and bowlers will lower there averages, Maxwell has no shot of getting a crack.

That's not great news if true. His record is not exactly stellar.

 

[corbies]

That's not great news if true. His record is not exactly stellar.

These are the records of pace bowlers since the end of the 2019 World Cup:

Abbott 21 wkts @ 36.80, ER 5.66
Green 16 wkts @ 41.00, ER 5.72
Stoinis 15 wkts @ 40.86, ER 5.75
Marsh 12 wkts @ 37.08, ER 5.46
Ellis 10 wkts @ 38.20, ER 5.96
K. Richo 5 wkts @ 35.80, ER 6.35
J. Richo 3 wkts @ 53.66, ER 5.96
Hardie 2 wkts @ 31.00, ER 6.20
Henriques 1 wkt @ 41.00, ER 5.12
Neser 1 wkt @ 119.00, ER 5.95
W. Agar 0 wkts, ER 3.54
Benrendorff 0 wkts, ER 5.66
S. Johnson 0 wkts, ER 7.62
Meredith 0 wkts, ER 7.20

The below was halfway through the World Cup but is close enough:

Records of ODI pacers for Australia last 4 years:

Starc, Cummins, Hazlewood:
Avg: 28.80
Economy Rate: 5.19

All other pacers:
Avg: 42.76
Economy Rate: 5.65

It's borderline whether Cummins is the 3rd best quick but it's not like anyone else has stood up and done anything when given the chance.
