Australian T20 Squad (Tri-Series)

[peternorth]

Just thinking aloud here.....the batsmen selected are generally openers or at 3 for the BBL franchises? Is position 3-4 much different to opening.....for example in tests openers arent picked to play middle order.

 

[Doodlesweaver]

The side they have chosen hardly affects the test team at all. Marvellous, that.

 

[Hellgood]

Bemused Turner didn't make it in. Kane Richardson and Dwarshius is a bit cringe as pace bowling picks but would imagine one/none will be in the eleven at any one time.

Who cares lol the T20 tri series is a nothing series. Let Turner help the Scorchers try to win another title.

BTW is Khawaja going to be picked for the tests?

Scorchers on insta said that CA weren't keen as Turner can't bowl or field in the outfield due to a shoulder injury and said that he is due for surgery soon (something a long that).

would love to see Mitch Johnson play internation t20's

Sucks that the Redbacks have been robbed of 4 players for this meaningless Mickey Mouse Cup, yet Sayers continues to be overlooked for the Test XI?!? Give me a break

Shame they have to play for their country

Sayers and Maxwell should make tiny little voodoo dolls together.

My team with the squad we have:

Warner
Finch
Lynn
Short
Maxwell
Stoinis
Carey
Agar
Dwarshius
Tye
Stanlake

Think our bowlers will get punished, but our batting is deep and needs to go from ball 1.

No problems with making Warner captain.

It allows the rest of the squad time to become acclimatised to South African conditions (they will need it!) while giving us an opportunity to assess Warner's tactical acumen in the shortest form, maybe with a view to replacing Smith as a T20/ODI captain?.

 

[JG22]

Sucks for Short (the clear best batsman of BBL07) looks unlikely to get the opportunity to open.

One potential option is to put Finch in the middle order, which he has done quite a bit at IPL level.

Its not essential though, especially with Finch being superb in the ODIs. Add to that the R/L hand combination.

TBF a lot nearly every batsmen in the team would be unlucky not to bat higher. Lynn, Short, Maxwell, Head, stonis and carey all bat higher for their bbl side than what they would for the national side.

 

[JG22]

Maddinson should replace Lynn when he had to pull out injured

 

[Torz]

Short should get to open. Put Warner down the order.

You don't get to see Warner play t20 cricket as he doesn't have time for BBL.

If he did, he may well be the clear best player in it.

spot on darce.

rewarding good form and runs yes, but in this game run makers are in the top 2-3 positions.
Can the others steady the ship should the need require in the middle order? Or maybe its not required in t20.

 

[KBLT]

I don't get it. They skip over Turner because he may be a liability in the field because of his shoulder but they pick Lynn?

 

[Torz]

 

[Doodlesweaver]

And Scorchers need Turner for the BBL finals.

 

[KBLT]

I am no longer confused. Just hope he can stay fit for once. Still gonna be a liability in the field though.

 

[The_Reaper]

Reading between the lines and Lynn is a massive part of our world cup strategy so they just want him to play regardless.

Maxwell must bat in the top 3,the best T20 batsman in that side and better then Warner.

Seems a popular view of fans, fans that only watch cricket in Australia.

Warner is one of the best players in the IPL, considerably better than Maxwell.

No doubt Maxwell should be in there but Warner, Lynn and even D'Arcy Short should be given the front opportunity.

The best 3 bats in this format of cricket should bat in the top 3,might agree on Warner but Maxwell clearly above Lynn and Darcy Short and must bat in the top 3 right now.
