Don Stoinis - the Adam Voges of the ODI side

I was hoping Markram would go a Don type run of scores and get his average ridiculously high. But he has already let his average slip to mid-60's. I guess to be a Don, you have to be Strayan.

So.....
Finch
Warner
Smith
Head
White
Marsh
Stoinos
Carey
Starc
Tye
Richardson

Stoinos who scored 60 off 40 gets demoted down the order.

Zampa gets dropped for white.

Our bowling attack consists of Starc, Richardson, Tye and then Marsh, Stoinos, white and head.

Are we trying to lose?

we have gone bat heavy

we probably knew poms like chasing and would have bowled first anyway

So I guess we are looking to post big

expecting us to go harder in the first 10 overs

My fear is that even if we score big we'll have buckleys defending it with that bowling line up.

I think what we are banking on is putting them under pressure and forcing mistakes

Worked in a bygone era, not sure about these days though
