T20 Squad Announced (vs Sri Lanka)

[Spud Patrol]

Needs more Brad Hogg.

Interestingly no Steve Smith, Moises Henriques or Cameron White. Glenn Maxwell seems to be the current CA 'let's pick this guy because we think he's good even though his form is ordinary' flavour of the month selection.

Wouldn't be too many captains going around that have earned as few stripes as George Bailey.

Holly shit ****, surely you must be having a laugh?! Spud Smith, the Portugese Spud farmer and Spud white are the biggest flogs in Australian cricket and i have absolutely no idea how they get even considered for a look in.

 

[Lensen]

Rohrer very unlucky - could equally fill the same spot

yeah, rorher good too but wasn't really on the radar before the BBL - voges has been around for a while and deserves it more IMO

 

[Bradesmaen]

Don't really see people's problems with Bailey. He's the perfect replacement for Hussey. Can power hit and also knock it round and is a quality batsman and excellent skipper. He's one of the best batsman in that lineup.

 

[eth-dog]

Cutting to miss IMO.

Warner
Finch
Marsh
Voges
Bailey
Maxwell
Wade
Faulkner
Starc
Doherty
Laughlin

I like the Voges inclusion. I must admit I can see Cutting playing and Maxwell not due to wanting a better 5h bowler- or even Voges

Voges should be in the one day team ahead of David Hussey. Hussey has played 67 odi matches for Aus now and has the fantastic average of 32.

I agree with u about Hussey there are some people in the media that when he is left out of the ODI or 2020 sides they make a big deal about it, I swear some people think he is the Bradman of short form cricket.

Hussey has played a fair bit of cricket for Aus an his record isnt anything special.

Victorian media

All states are the same but only Victoria and New South Wales have any influence outside their own state.

 

[BluesMan]

Voges didn't get the nod ahead of others becuase he can roll his arm over. He didnt even bowl in the BBL. So you cant pick him for that trait. Good selection that was deserved

 

[brisbane13]

Missed the quote - it's selective's. Is anyone else having problems with the site?

Been there and done what with Voges? He's only ever played as a fill-in in the one day team and still manages to have a better record than some of the current first picks.

while hussey has been an under achiever for the national one day team, he has dominated in the domestic compitition , for years, while voges has had a good bbl, he hasnt done anything else for years for WA

67 matches worth of underachievement is a SHITPILE of underachievement. I mean, it's hardly a low sample size is it?

Which hussey you talking about? No where near mikes standard! But perfect upgrade on david.

 

[dajesmac]

Quite excited by the Laughlin selection.

Can people read? Did I not say:

At which point did I advocate their selection? I said their non-selection was interesting. I've lumped Glenn Maxwell in the same category of guys CA seem to want in the side who haven't produced the performances to justify their selection.

 

[Parquet Court]

Tied up with the BBBBL

That's the Bangladesh Big Bash League. The other B is a typo..

Squad needs more Beer

My apologies, I got a little excited with the opportunity to rip on the spud farmer from Portugal. Love that you included Spud Maxwell in that list, great addition to the fold.

 

[MG MG]

Would have rathered Smith or Henriques over Maxwell.

Wrapt with Marsh, Voges selections.
