Averaged 22 in his last 20 ODIs. That's how

Given the last ODI was ages ago and Maxwell's form in both the Shield and BBL has been outstanding, I think Boof's looking for excuses. You can only use current exposed form, not old form from quite a while ago. White and Tye are in the side on BBL form. How else does he get back in the team if there's no one-days of any form around. I'm happy with the side selected but Boof's reasons are simply full of s**t.

Using the same theory how did Tim Paine get selected this summer even if it was a terrific selection in hindsight? Who would've Marsh's would've been excellent Test players this year given previous form (hopefully they can keep it up). They, like White and Tye too, got picked on current form. If you're going to use those reasons for an omission at least be consistent.

Andrew Tye is debuting. Handed his cap by the great John Hastings

 

[Cleavy]

I'm finding it tough to get excited about this series, especially since it's now scheduled in the middle of BBL.

 

[MarkCatsFan]

Did anybody catch Smith's cheeky giggle when talking about Travis Head?

"He's got a good head on his shoulders hehe"

He is a lovable character Smith.

Tye probably also gets his spot based on his excellent JLT series and skills as a death bowler. Unlike Maxwell, who is similar in role to Head, there’s not huge competition for Tye’s role. Whether he’s successful or not remains to be seen.

Is that for real?

 

[JG22]

Pissed down overnight. Groundsmen will be working hard to get the ground dried for this arvo.

The MCG has world class drainage.

Should never be an issue.

As I spent October drinking piss in the USA (back to regular weight now..haha) I have no idea how the JLT series went. Just had a look. Tye only played 3 games (I might've missed one) but they were 3 really good games. As for White he just played a couple and they were nothing short of terrible, so he was definitely picked on BBL form.

Exactly, I played on a local ground at 9am this morning. A little damp and great for bowling but even it dried out by 10!

Tye and Jhye Richardson were both picked on good JLT form.

If the selections were based on BBL form then Short and Turner would be far ahead of Maxwell.

He is a lovable character Smith.

And people say today's players have no personality...

 

[Buzzasto DaSilva]

And Cameron White would be nowhere near the team

Clarke is a total flog! Does that count

the selectors mentioned White's domestic one day form over the past several seasons.

 

[Scotland]

Richardson had a good JLT Cup and started off the BBL in good form but has copped some serious stick the last 3 games.

0/45, 1/44 and 0/55 would have the selectors feeling nervous. I reckon he'll get a token debut for the Perth ODI.

 

[workhorse]

I only really saw the first 10 overs of England's innings proper and then sporadically through the rest of the innings but I feel for Tye. Didn't take a wicket but bowled pretty tight (4.3 Rpo when 4 of the 7 bowlers went at >7 Rpo) and had to come on after they'd score 50+ after 5 overs.

 

[TheSierBear]

I've only got back into cricket over the past year or so, but I must say the 50 over game will be gone from existence in the next five to ten years or so.

As for selection, the Australian test team is looking really good. Mitch Marsh is actually immensely talented and will eventually be a fantastic player if not right now. I think the only shaky spot in the test team right now is Bancroft and I don't understand that how a good looking one day player in Finch can't transition his game into the test side, if he can get another ton in the one day series it should give them something to really think about. But, they dropped Maxwell after his excellent form so anything's possible with the selectors.

The one day side is not taken seriously, Australia's last 50 games ranks us below Afghanistan, WTF! That clearly says more than anything that Australia give this dying game not much thought.

That said, at full strength the Australian one day side should be a formidable force.

If Head has a couple more fails then Maxwell should jump the que and come into the side.

 

[footyfan1978]

Probably just end up playing Stoinis and Mitch Marsh in the games now.
Not heard whom replacing in squad for Lynn but if after a batsman I suspect Burns is the man if the resting up Shaun Marsh for South African Test tour.

You could, though 4 Front line bowlers +Marsh, Stoinis and Head would be overkill.

Well they played both of them without replacing Lynn in actual 11.

Cameron White replaces Chris Lynn in the ODI squad. Will miss the derby on Friday night.

and then does not play on Sunday anyway.. ha ha.

Scheduling and common sense at this time of year still needs some work at Cricket Australia.

 

[footyfan1978]

I hope they learned a lesson from picking a specialist T20 bowler into a 50 over game.
For mine I doubted he had the natural normal cricket wicket strike taking ability and sure enough , no wickets. I know it is only one game but writing was on the wall to start with. Anyway, I do not knock him given an opportunity, just thought it was flawed idea to start with. Richardson was fair enough as he would be a genuine wicket taker. Tye not so much. Problem is now they will rest Cummings and the side will probably still play Tye.

The guy went at 4.3 runs an over. I think the selectors are worried about depth bowling as well with Starc our only real depth bowler in the side after Faulkner turned to shite. It’s unfortunate Tye was used earlier and never got the chance to show what he’s got under the pressure situation he was picked for. I hope he’s picked again - we need the depth bowling and as long as he can be solid enough through the middle he’s worth picking imo (but maybe not when the big three are available).

 

[footyfan1978]

The guy went at 4.3 runs an over.

Yes, there is no doubt his economy rate can be good but unless you picked in side as an allrounder, a bowler that is first change, I want to be a strike bowler. I do not sense he is for this form of cricket. I could be proved wrong, hopefully, but sense he is not.

 

[Gough]

How far do people think that was off our best side last night, Haze would come in for sure but who else?

I don't understand how Tye could cop criticism for his debut performance where he was easily the tightest of our bowlers.

And if Tye is a specialist T20 bowler why does he have such a good List A record?
