I haven't missed the point thanks.
Demeanour is one thing, tactical nous is anotherChris Lynn should be captain,he's the most kool and calm mofo i've ever seen,not even kidding,this bloke should be captain.,he's on field demeanor is delicious.
You can devalue this (if that's what you want to do) any manner of ways, picking a South African chucker is not the way to do this.You both miss the point. It's a shit T20 series played right when the best 15 players are put of the country.
Who cares who we pick? Devalue this as much as possible I say!
Squad named.
Aaron Finch (c), Patrick Cummins, James Faulkner, Travis Head, Moises Henriques, Michael Klinger, Chris Lynn, Tim Paine, Jhye Richardson, Billy Stanlake, Ashton Turner, Andrew Tye, Adam Zampa
A big WTF to Tim Paine. The rest is ok considering it's basically a second string side in a meh series.
I'd have gone Ferguson myself. He had a horror test debut, but he's a good limited overs bat, experienced and performed well at domestic level for some time. Some of the selections are becoming head scratchers. You've got blokes like Fergo, Maddo, Carty, they basically get one match or two at best and if they don't belt a ton that's them done for life. I genuinely think if they keep selecting as they do, you will be able to name 5 XIs of players playing domestically who have represented Australia. It's like they're applying their spin carousel selection post Warne to their full team these days. I get Rob Quiney and Alex Doolan weren't considered because they're the standby bats for India but now we are just picking blokes from anywhere.
I've seen some blokes in this very forum who have started taking the proverbial on Australian team selections and thrown up names that have no right to be mentioned, but really their jovial stabs in the dark are as likely as anyone's. They know no shame these blokes.
Agreed, especially considering 2 months ago he was seen a test prospect.It's getting a bit ridiculous. Ferguson could even be in NZ in place of Heazlett. The bloke has 40 odd ODIs and averages 40...we lack batting experience, well there's some.
Your team is amazingly successful. But I feel it's in spite of your selectors.
Just off the top of my head, these are former international players going around
Quiney
Doolan
Rorher
Cutting
Muirhead
Hastings
Richardson
Dunk
Bancroft
Holland
Beer
Bailey
Copeland
Ahmed
Couter Ganges
Mennie
Worrall
Tye
Abbott
Sandhu
Bollinger
Boyce
White
Paris
Forrest
Maddinson
Cartwright
Reardon
Adam Voges
McKay
Boland
Tremain
Christian
Now I know some of these blokes don't deserve reselection so being dropped is fine, but why pick them in the first place? And yes I know some of them only played t20 hit and giggle.

Makes absolutely no sense, they throw a young bloke to the wolves like Heazlett in NZ because they are going for youth. That's fine but then the next instant pick a 36 yr old for a totally meaningless 20/20 tourney. Wouldn't the smart option was to pick Klinger for the tour to NZ and let the young bloke have a run in the 20/20??? Considering because of injury that's the only form of cricket he has played this summer???Hohns defending his selection of Klinger saying he was picked on form
lol
Sean Abbott leading BBL wicket taker and Dunk leading run scorer were not picked.
On Abbott - wasn't he considered an all rounder? His batting stats for an era of flat tracks, short boundaries and big bats is very very poor. He's a poor mans Chris Pringle.
