to be fair, McDermott is injured, Finch went home injured, and we didn’t have any reserve batsmen, so who would you have picked instead?

Not many make it harder to like the Australian cricket team than Matthew Wade.

Agar is a solid bat. Scored consistent runs in shield before his injury
Surely Moises has played his last game for Australia.....never opens for NSW in any format, yet opens in the series decider for Aust?...not sure what Langer was thinking there.....hasn't Wade opened before representing Aust?....

It more than likely would have been so we could have left handers in the middle order to face Hosein and Walsh who both spin it into the left handers. The WI countered that by bowling Hosein in the third over but the tactic was sound. It's the same reason Agar would have been sent in ahead of Turner with Hosein and Walsh operating from either end at the time of Carey's dismissal.

How injured is McDermott? Are we sending any reinforcements to Bangladesh or is it too hard with COVID bubbles?
It was a really odd line up this morning.

At least he didn't have to bat or bowl.

Firstly can you really rate someone's List A stats when they haven't played the format in 4 years?
In relation to why he was picked, he was the only recognised batsman/all-rounder left in the squad and he would have bowled if the pitch wasn't slow as * which allowed Turner to be a more effective 5th bowling option.

Zampa is clearly our number 1 spinner, in Bangladesh I'd play him with Agar and Swepson

OK, let's dump the first odi spinner to establish himself since Brad Hogg.

seems they prefer Wade in the middle order?
To be fair to Moises does McDermott ever open in List A cricket?
Like most I’m a bit perplexed by Wade playing as a specialist batsman and not being at the top. Surely it was either him or the skipper to open (although if Warner and Finch are in the plans for the 2023 WC Carey should stay where he is).
Moises is a park cricketer if he is the next best we are stuffed
