Carey, Connolly, Dwarshius and Tanveer in reserve

I would drop labs and play Carey

 

[JackOutback]

Bowling looks very average without any of the big three. Is Lance Morris injured or just not in consideration. Would have thought he offered a point of difference with his express pace.

If anyone is dropping out of that top 7 for Carey it is Hardie.

It would have also been the perfect opportunity for Jhye Richardson to return to International cricket but alas he's injured again.

I don't see why the selectors rate Hardie. Inconsistent performer.

You need 10 overs from Maxwell/Head/Short but I think that is workable

 

[MarcMaverick]

I mean we would have had to see what is life after Cummins,Starc and Hazlewood, eventually and to see who we have in the ressies.

 

[MuggerGolden]

Would have preferred to have seen Xavier Bartlett in the squad, think he needs to be in the Australian team as much as possible.

I find it staggering that Hardie is there and Beau Webster isn't.

 

[magpiemaniac44]

Would probably have picked Bartlett over Dwarshuis but oh well

Bizarre not to have him in.

 

[BGman]

Not staggering for me, a touch baffling it being white ball and Webster has played all season while Hardie has had a stop/start one. In skill terms I'd take Hardie over Webster in both formats.

Over Abbott too. Both bat about the same, but Bartlett clearly the better bowler in all formats.

 

[eth-dog]

If anyone is dropping out of that top 7 for Carey it is Hardie.

And I feel they only drop him if Abbott and Dwarshius are picked at 7/8.

Hardie has hardly scored a run all year.

How Webster is not even in the squad doesn't make sense.
He's pretty much in the form of his life.

 

[BGman]

Naturally when you play only 1 of 7 shield rounds. Expect he only played a couple of one dayers too. Didn't he play in that Pom one day series? If so, then he is the incumbent, thus his selection. If not, then baffled as I said. I'd have Webster ahead of Abbott and Dwarhuis.

You've conveniently forgotten his 7 BBL games I see.

Red ball form. I'd definitely have Webster ahead of Abbott and Dwarhuis.

Not conveniently. Missed them. Did catch some replay footage of most interesting games tho.

 

[JackOutback]

Hardie showing the reasoning as we speak, I guess.

 

[Cleavy]

Hardie showing the reasoning as we speak, I guess.

so opening the bowling really make him "the new Stoinis". poor guy!

 

[Pure_Ownage]

If anyone is dropping out of that top 7 for Carey it is Hardie.

They will want hardie as the all rounder with no stoinis.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Picking JFM lol are they serious? He's barely in the top 50 cricketers in the country what a joke. Rest of the squad is ok given our lack of options.
