Pretty decent line-up considering the options

1. Aaron Finch (C)
2. D'Arcy Short
3. Chris Lynn
4. Shaun Marsh
5. Travis Head/Glenn Maxwell
6. Marcus Stoinis
7. Alex Carey (wk)
8. Pat Cummins
9. Mitchell Starc
10. Adam Zampa
11. Josh Hazlewood


Or you could open with Carey to allow both Maxwell & Stoinis to play in the same side:
1. Aaron Finch (C)
2. Alex Carey (wk)
3. Chris Lynn
4. Shaun Marsh
5. Travis Head
6. Glenn Maxwell
7. Marcus Stoinis
8. Pat Cummins
9. Mitchell Starc
10. Adam Zampa
11. Josh Hazlewood
 
No major surprises in the squad

I’d be tempted to play both Maxwell and Stoinis over Marsh personally

Fair point, his form hasn't been the best of late and can understand if he's left out.

I'd probably get laughed for saying this but S Marsh hasn't had a heap of opportunities in the limited overs sides and imo I think he's a much better white ball cricketer than he is a test cricketer. Decent average for the times he's been picked and also scored 2 100's in his past 5 ODI's. I certainly understand the criticism of him in the long form though.

No you're right, he has always been a better short form batsman but I feel it's time to move on. He's 35 years old. I guess he could provide "experience" but you've got plenty of that already with Finch and Maxwell. Give a young kid a go, plenty of solid performances in the JLT Cup this year: McDermott, Heazlett, Weatherald... list goes on

Yeah but Shaun could still play in the WC. 35 or 36 is nothing.

You're right and I considered it. But he has never really lit the world on fire in ODIs. He averages 40 which is solid but nothing special. I can see both sides and I'm on the side of moving on. But he's in the squad, he'll play and best of luck to him.

If the rest of the batting order contains Finch, Maxwell, Lynn, Short, Stoinis, M. Marsh etc. then somebody like Shaun, who can work the ball around and accumulate around them, is vital.

Coulter-Nile, Zampa, Stoinis
Stoinis and Zampa very stiff, Coulter-Nile great player but just no room unless we play four seamers!

Currently it says "Live Stream will be available closer to the commencement of play"
Whether that is free, or subject to some CA subscription fee, is unclear. I thought it was the latter, but others have said it is free to stream.

40 in a side that has lost 13 of its last 15 matches sticks out like Chanderpaul’s record in latter day West Indian sides.
