Bailey stands down as Australian T20 Captain

White would be my choice.

If you were picking someone for the sole purpose of being T20 captain I'd agree. I just get the feeling they need to see how a few of the different candidates for Clarke's successor would go leading a side before they have to make a choice.

If Smith is playing ODIs, don't want him in the T20 team as he's having his struggles adapting to ODI and needs to concentrate on that.. If he's not, then T20 skippering is a good idea.

Watson could do it, only why would you bother considering how often he is injured?

But Cam White would be a good choice too.
 
Does Bailey keep his spot without the captaincy? You could make a case either way really. My side...

David Warner
Aaron Finch
Shane Watson
Glenn Maxwell
Cameron White (c)
Mitch Marsh
Tim Paine (+)
James Faulkner
Mitchell Johnson
Mitchell Starc
James Muirhead
12th - Nathan Coulter-Nile

I wouldn't have him in it?

Also Dunk for Paine?
Or an opportunity to give Whiteman a taste?

I do agree though. Being captain of the T20 side means nothing for your career.

Let's face reality. Bailey isn't going to be selected in tests again.

Hopefully he does regain his best form in the one dayers though for the world cup
 
If you consider money to be a good career then yes it does.
It's certainly a factor.

Let us not forget too that the likes of Lyon and Cummins have made their names in T20 cricket and have forged international careers on the back of it. Watson too to a certain extent truly found his mojo in the IPL then transferred it (on and off) to the international circuit.

He said he's not playing anymore T20s for Aus for this year, so he wont be in consideration which makes sense.

He'd gain nothing from being in the team without being skipper as he's doing this so he can play more first class cricket.
 
Your post. WGAF? :)

Seriously, why do people bother posting this?
He has a point though. T20 is the who cares cup. The cricket equivalent of the NAB cup.
 
Finch named captain. Should be White.

Finch
Warner
Watson
White
Maxwell
M Marsh
Whiteman
Faulkner
Starc
Muirhead
Bird

That would be my XI, but the squad is:

Aaron Finch (c), Sean Abbott, Cameron Boyce, Pat Cummins, James Faulkner, Brad Haddin, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Kane Richardson, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, David Warner, Shane Watson

Harsh to drop Muirhead, with an average of 18, SR of 15 and ER of 7.26 in T20I's. Showed plenty of promise in that format IMO

Muirhead did bowl rank in the A series.

He's got a taste and now needs to work at his game for Victoria

Fair enough, didn't watch that even though I planned to.
