ODI Squad

[eth-dog]

Watson at 3, I'll live with that, Watson is one of the best ODI players, and Clarke at 5, Bailey....we have enough batsmen.

Clarke bats at 4 in ODI's.

 

[Cleavy]

Any ideas on the poms side?

Alastair Cook (Essex) (Capt), Gary Ballance (Yorkshire), Ian Bell (Warwickshire), Ravi Bopara (Essex), Tim Bresnan (Yorkshire), Danny Briggs (Hampshire), Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire), Jos Buttler (Lancashire), Michael Carberry (Hampshire), Steven Finn (Middlesex), Chris Jordan (Sussex), Eoin Morgan (Middlesex), Boyd Rankin (Warwickshire), Joe Root (Yorkshire), Ben Stokes (Durham), James Tredwell (Kent).

 

[Parquet Court]

Another horrible head to head one day series.

Can't wait for them to make 3 changes every 2nd game. You know because the games mean **** all so we can send out rank 3rd in line ryobi players to see if they can get some experience.

The big bash is actually more meaningful than these games

Hmm. If I were picking the side it'd be:

Cook
Carberry
Root
Bell
Ballance
Stokes
Buttler (+)
Bresnan
Broad
Tredwell
Finn

Bailey nearly averages 55 in ODI who would you replace him with. As already been pointed out Clarke bats at 4 in ODI's.

She means that Hughes wouldn't get a game ahead of Bailey

My mistake. I thought she was advocating for Hughes being in the side instead of Bailey.

Nah, she hates Hughes

 

[tazzietiger]

Nah, she hates Hughes

After looking back I agree with her post. Our batting is good enough back up the risk of Finch and Warner getting out cheaply.

 

[Black Diamond]

Why would that have any bearing on ODI selection?

In a fifty over match I just like to have 6 guys who can bat for 45+ if required. It is also no coincidence that most of the best ODI batsmen are highly rated FC and test players too.

Should we drop Bailey from the ODI team because of his poor Test and Shield form?

Finch is a very good 50 over player, completely different formats. The relevant average is his List A one, which stands at a very handy 39.15.

Bailey isn't struggling to hold his spot for Tasmania and is a much better player than Finch.

FWIW I was saying the same thing about David Warner five years ago.

Bailey hasn't produced in the long form in some time, same as Finch.

To some extent too players like Clarke and Bailey offer good stability in the ODI team so we can afford to have a few Finch/Warner types who can be a bit hit and miss. I'm happy with the selections, though Voges is a little stiff. Guess he wouldn't have played with Pup back anyway.

Voges is injured?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Voges is injured?

He will be fit in time for the ODI series.

 

[Torz]

He will be fit in time for the ODI series.

But lacking match practice.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

He'll be back in the Scorchers side soon, he'll be fine.

 

[Torz]

Won't get a game ahead of Tim Armstrong.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Won't get a game ahead of Tim Armstrong.

Just a shame Marcus Stoinis abandoned us in our hour of need.

 

[Aussie_boy]

So any idea when these players become unavailable for the Big Bash, need to know for my fantasy side Especially seeming I have 5 of them

Never said that. Our top order doesn't need a Hughes type plodder

 

[Phone]

Finch averages 22 in 17 games against quality ODI teams (ie test status). You don't have to manufacture a reason to remove Finch from the team (the shield thing).

 

[Doodlesweaver]

Warner and Marsh really are golden boys though. Warner has been a bit shit in ODIs generally and Marsh is a flake. I think Hughes has been stiffed. He hasn't been any worse than those 2, in fact, I'd say he's been better.

 

[The_Reaper]

Warner was always going to be selected after his ryobi cup, shield century and test form.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Hard to complain too much about that squad.
