Oops.. I meant Handscomb when I typed Bancroft. Mind you, Bancroft isn't in the team either.

I’d say that’s the squad rather than the team .

Vader, I clearly said they would both be in the squad, but Warner was no guarantee to be in our best side.
Stop misrepresenting what I clearly said!
Good squad imo... but agree I wouldn't of taken Lyon, but Handscomb instead.

Fall from grace for the ex Vice Captain.

I know this is late, but maybe the selectors thought the added responsibility of the Vice-captaincy might make him focus more and become a high-achiever consistently....? Personally, I'm happy he's gone; was carried for way too long imo.
Have you considered making a World Cup thread, or just gonna stay with this (which has passed into the late-Autumn of Cricket
)?

Warner was dominant in the IPL, leading IPL run scorer when he exited the tournament early for the Australian training camp.
8 x 50's and 1 x 100 in 12 matches is no joke. Hopefully can bring at least half that form into the World Cup on English pitches.
Smith was pretty solid without setting the world on fire. Low strike rate, anchorman.
Stoinis no 50's but lots of not outs to make his average look good.
The form of these 3 in the World Cup will go a long way to determining how the Aussies go.
Warner - 12 matches, 2 not outs, 692 runs @ 69.20 ave striking at 143.86. HS 100*
8 x 50's
1 x 100
Smith - 12 matches, 2 not outs, 319 runs @ 39.87 ave striking at 116. HS 73*
3 x 50's.
Stoinis - 10 matches, 6 not outs, 211 runs @ 52.75 ave striking at 135.25. HS 46*
2 wickets @ 72.50 ave at 8.70 economy.

Channel 9 are advertising the World Cup and the Ashes, why are they broadcasting and not 7?

It's the last thing they had rights to from memory
I think channel 9 have rights to next year's T20 World Cups as well.
Have they got any commentators left?

Just Tubby, Bill Lawry and Ian Chappell
So basically what they had last time they broadcast the cricket

I reckon they'll take the UK feed with a couple of 'experts' (ie Simon O'Donnell and Ray Martin) back in the studio during breaks in play.
The UK feed will include a few Aussie commentators and is usually excellent - Gower, Botham, Atherton.

For the World Cup, it'll be the ICC feed, which is a mix of commentators from around the world (usually 2-3 from each country).
For the Ashes, it'll probably be the Sky Sports feed from the UK you suggested.

Indian bookies making a killing tonight with their favourite team...
With Steve Smith back, the Ashes are looking interesting.
Might be heavy coffee use this winter.
