This is Australia's side.
Joe Burns, David Warner, Steve Smith (capt), George Bailey, Glenn Maxwell, Shane Watson, Mitch Marsh, Matthew Wade, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Nathan Coulter-Nile.
But why would we make Watson open?? We just won the World Cup 6 months ago and we are playing Ireland and a half strength England side in a few one dayers. Watson won't be there in 4 years time for the next World Cup. Why wouldn't you try someone new as an opener.CA: Hmm we need an opener to replace Finch. I know, let's go with the guy who averages below 40! I mean Shane Watson only averages 40ish at international level as an opener.
******* ******s really make it hard to like the Aussie team at the moment

Presumably they just want to give Burns some experience ahead of playing tests this summer.
Though I never understood why Watson was moved from opening in ODIs anyway. He's a superior batsman to Finch
Say what? I never mentioned Warner at all? The Reaper is correct, I was referring to Burns.Bradesman is just talking s**t about Warner as usual....
Ireland's squad for those that care
WTS Porterfield*, A Balbirnie, GH Dockrell, EC Joyce, AR McBrine, JF Mooney, TJ Murtagh, KJ O'Brien, MC Sorensen, PR Stirling, SR Thompson, GC Wilson†, CA Young
Ireland have a lot of quality in their side these days, and some good young talents in Dockrell, McBrine, Young and Stirling. Hopefully they can catch the Australian team low on morale and make this interesting.

We have too many all-rounders playing for my liking. I would have got rid of Watson and replaced him with Agar so we have a genuine spin bowler in the team and a more balanced looking bowling attack.
Because it's all about winning all games. Not the ones four years from now. If a player can't come in and perform straight away he shouldn't play anyway. There shouldn't be try-outs based on potential.
Also that bowling lineup will either bowl them out cheap or get pasted. Worst odi bowling lineup in ages
It is pretty s**t when this is our first ODI after the World Cup.It's a shame that in a time when interest in cricket is waning this game isn't on FTA
I'm talking about people who average s**t and are picked that they might step up rather than guys with proven recordsThere are ONLY tryouts based on potential.You can never know how a player will go on the step up to international cricket.
