Australia T20....the future

[Wizardman]

Watson....give him another shot...great tournament.
Warner...bad form...but keep.
Hussey....good player, but expendable....put him out to pasture.
Bailey...I know he is young, but he has not shown much in this format.....more a test, one day man....keem him a little while longer for experience....crap all around him atm.
White....his papers need to be stamped "NEVER PLAY INTERNATIONALS AGAIN". This donkey has been crap for quite some time now.
D Hussey....He needs his papers stamped as well..,..I don't care how many Big Bash 50's this wanker scores, his time is over.
Wade...stick for now.
Cummins....keep.
Maxwell....kindly f**k off.
Dan Christian....keep for now....thin ice.
Doherty...stamp those papers on his f**king forehead. Absolute merkin.
Hogg...sadly, our best spinner....but needs to go back to his wheelchair...expendable.

Bailey can keep his spot now

 

[Bazal]

Bailey is not young FTR...28? Something like that.

Anyway, T20 is the lesser form...so ultimately, who cares? My problem is nuffies like White, Doherty (in T20) D Hussey blocking what I feel should be a pathway to introduce blokes to international cricket.

 

[Wizardman]

I agree Bazal....which is why guys like the Hussey brothers, White, Hogg and Doherty should have their papers stamped.

Btw, I miss the valuable insights of "the flight of the magpie". Has he been banned from posting?

Bailey is 30. Guys like Doherty, Hussey and White in particular have had countless chances and never fail to disappoint. Must say thus far John Inverarity and his team haven't really impressed me much

Cameron white is the biggest myth in cricket. How does he keep getting selected it's not like he bowls anymore either why not chuck a young bloke in there? Steve Smith khawaja etc couldn't be any worse maybe they don't wanna break up the boys club.

The biggest mistake we made was bringing all the old blokes back in. The reality is we were not winning a WC with a 42 year old. Going forward, and lets be realistic here....

1. Watson
2. Warner
3. Mitch Marsh (there better be a damn good reason why he was not in the side this time!)
4. Henriques
5. Christian (again he is probably our best T20 player and we leave him sitting on his butt to play Doherty, WTF!)
6. Travis Birt (yes he is rubbish at other forms but the guy is a gun T20 player)
7. Daniel Smith (bloke from NSW, Wade is great but I don't see him as a T20 player)
8. Steve O'Keefe
9. Pat Cummins
10. Nathan Rimmington
11. Mitchell Starc

Build a side and squad around that, if we want to win the T20, take it seriously and play T20 specialists.

What is so crazy about it, slogger, exactly what you need at T20 level.

 

[Rosetta]

The policy should be if a player is over the age of 27 they must be a Watson/Warner type superstar at this format to be selected. I am sick to death of the old mates brigade clogging up selections for no f**king reason at all, Cameron White wouldn't be within cooee of this side if he wasn't Bailey's bum chum from the Melbourne Stars. The Hussey brothers are both mid 30s+ and do they really offer more than say a Mitch Marsh or Moses Henriques in a T20 match? Nope. Cricket Australia grow a f**king set and draw a sand in the line, no more old farts.

 

[RHCP]

Aaron Finch should definitely get a look-in as a regular starter imo.

 

[Sphagnum]

Doherty, White and Wade should be out on their ass. How's Wade's form walking to the crease shacking his head with a defeatist attitude. Steve Waugh would have sent him straight back to the pavilion with an attitude like that. I'd be embarassed if I was him. What happened to the 'never say die' attitude our players once had? Bunch of fairies these days.

 

[TheParraboy]

you know , I dont mind if we bumble and stumble in this format of the game, they could bring back Tait and Abba for all I care. AS LONG as they get the other formats of the game right, particularly test cricket .

I reckon they learn more at first class level tbh, bad habits are encouraged in T20

 

[Peppers]

The downfall of our current squad is simple. There are too many Victorians. Victorians ruin everything. The environment, Christmas and Australia Day.

Look at the failures from the world cup:
Hussey - hopeless
White - what a dumb looking dopey bastard
Maxwell - Mr X Factor himself
Wade - thinks he can sledge but maybe he should try and bat

 

[gUt]

I don't follow the 20.20 (don't mind the big bash) but I cannot believe that White is still being picked?!

Dussey is a WACA, Wade's Tasmanian.

Should be more Sixers in there though.

SOK>>>>>>>>>>>> Xaviar straight breaker.

Well yes, I still think we should hope to develop a good T20 spinner though...and not grampa Hogg!
