As for Kane Richardson the Aussie Selectors obviously like him but I agree with you as I'm not sure if he's the next cab off the rank when there's Jhye Richardson in the current squad aswell as Sams, Agar as the second spinner and other possible options going forward like you said.
Sams was the obvious replacement for Starc despite me not being a big fan of his, I find him in that huge pool of players that we have that are excellent at domestic level but not quite there on the international scale.
The Dorf is the bloke I'd have in the squad for when you're sitting out Starc.
Smith is a great ODI player but I'd sit him out of this format, at 35 I don't see the point in persevering with Moises, we've got the series licked and he isn't going to be a make or break player.
Yes aswell as Sams you could probably add any of Tye, Abbott, Meredith, Ellis, D'Arcy Short, Henriques, Phillippe, Turner, Lynn and Maddinson to that pool but that's not to say guys like Meredith and Phillippe will improve and possibly become regulars in Australia's T20 team.
Behrendorff doesn't get enough love mate and it's a travesty he doesn't.
I also tend to think Smith playing T20s is becoming a waste of time and wouldn't mind if he gave up on playing the format but the Aussies obviously like having him in there as the Anchor/Mr Fix It type of role.
Could make a fair line up out of this group mate, could even call upon Marcus North to coach.
Behrendorff was going to be the next big thing not long, injuries hindered him but you don't lose talent, he hasn't really taken the opportunities by the balls when they've presented themselves for national duties, take out his 4/21 in his 2nd T20 and he's averaging 35 with a 9.22 economy rate, are we putting him on a pedestal too or does he need more games to find his groove? Nearly 32 now so time isn't really on his side.
