Quick answer- he’s a lot better than Handscomb with the gloves. You don’t go in with a part time/fractionally more than that keeper in Handscomb. You are asking for trouble
Going to be interesting if both hazelwood and Starc comes into the XI to see if Cummins still gets the new ball or moves back to first change
Well - here's the thing. I checked some stats.
Most international keepers average just over 1 catch per ODI innings. Gilchrist is the best - he averages less than 1.5 catches per innings. Haddin, not far short of that. Now when you consider that most catches to the keeper are a gentle feather, the requirement for a brilliant keeper to dive across first slip is maybe not that necessary. Most keeper catches in a Test match come from defensive shots. ODIs - fewer defensive shots - fewer keeper catches.
Gilchrist averaged less than 1 stumping per 5 innings - Haddin 1 per 10. Obviously, sub-continent keepers do better, but even Dhoni was 1 per three matches.
As for byes - not much there. Byes are generally not significant in ODIs. (Although it did bring up the time Justin Langer kept for Australia).
So - balance your keeper requirement against your batting. But ODIs are a very different calculation to Tests. If we let Handscombe keep. the most significant change is Carey for another batsman. (And when you consider that the next batting option is probably Wade....................................).

well played boys....didn't see us bowl went to bed after our innings...so the highlights
Cummins again awesome...…..lets rest him now for the last 2 ODI no reason to play we have won the series
well done Maxwell fantastic innings....match winning innings
Finch continues his good form
Now to the big issue ….which is stoinis...
Remind me how Stoinis somehow is a walkup start?
His bowling is trash and his batting....well it takes him 30 balls to do anything.
Is there anything MMarsh couldn’t do and he’s a better bowler and OFI batsman. Forget Marsh as a test batsman judge him off his 50 over form. It’s good.
I agree Luke
My thoughts on stoinis are in the World Cup Thread

Handscomb is a much better keeper than a year or two ago. His recent stumping and catches off spinners are quite impressive. My concern is if he could keep for 50 overs and the bat in the top order.
I like Carey but I am starting to worry about his keeping. Hopefully he is just going through a rough patch and will find form soon.

Rabada is just as good.Cummins is so bloody important to our WC chances. Elite, best in the world by a long way.

Cummins has been sent home
so for tonight's game, Kane Richardson in for Cummins, and maybe slot Turner in there somewhere for a hit?
