Lyon is not an T20 or ODI player.

 

[TheParraboy]

whos the captain? prob Watto, id give it to the big show..

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Khawaja straight in as skipper haha

 

[Bazal]

Lynn as captain? He does it for the Heat.

 

[Ibleedblue]

Bancroft a wicketkeeper, has he ever kept wicket before?

 

[Bazal]

Just the whole Big Bash. Or a good chunk anyway.

Tbh they could make Hastings keep and he wouldn't do worse than Wade anyway

 

[Timbo]

Apparently it's out of Watto, Darsh and Scissorhands for the captaincy according to Cricinfo.

Please let it be Watto. The idea of Marsh or Wade ever being able to honestly say 'I was the captain of the Australian cricket team' makes me feel ill.

and Wade could bowl, lol

he's probabaly a better bowler than he is a keeper

Looks like we will get pumped again. Nice to see cricket Australia take the only form of cricket people bother to turn up to these days seriously.

Keeps wickets for the Scorchers.

Hope Khawaja kills it and the selectors realise what dunces they are.

The short-term question was who would captain the side, with Shane Watson confirmed as the answer on Saturday, but the long-term worry is whether Finch's injury is serious enough to put him in any doubt for March's World T20 in India.

Watson confirmed captain

Usman Khawaja has joined the squad to cover for the injured Finch, though with Travis Head also in the squad there is no guarantee Khawaja will make his T20 international debut

:crazy:

 

[aussies1st]

Those idiots better play him. Get rid of Faulkner from 7

Yes. You are correct.

He did bowl medium pace during the 2012 Hobart test vs Sri Lanka. Much better bowler than batsman or wicketkeeper:

With the McGrath Foundation day of the SCG test washed out, looks like the McGrath Foundation is going to get another bite at the cherry, with it officially confirmed tomorrows T20 match will be "Pink"
