The Dark Knight wrote:Just watched the highlights, Maxy killed it. Finally a series win over India, you ripper. I wonder if Finch will now start at the top of the order in the ODI series? Got quite a few options for the two openers spots apart from him- Carey, Khawaja, Short and Marsh have all opened in ODI's before.

The first ODI is on Saturday, without Finch you could go something like-
Short
Carey
Khawaja
Marsh
Handscomb
Stoinis
Maxwell
Cummins
Coulter-Nile/Richardson
Zampa/Lyon
Behrendorff


I know that it's handy to kill two birds with one stone and have a keeper as an opener but I'm not sure that Carey is up to it on the big stage yet.

When the world has been blessed with Gilchrist, McCullum, Kaluwitharana and co. we adapt it as a "pre-requisite" now for an Aussie keeper.

To me, you pick the best keeper floating about that is able to strike at over 80, if he can open then that's just a bonus, you can always make up for it with an upper order all-rounder like the Saffers did with Kallis.

You have picked the strongest side there with who's over there atm, I'd play Richardson and Lyon although Zampa is impressive on the sub-continent so you can't go wrong there, and I'd open with safooty's favourite son "Shaun Marsh", bat Maxwell ahead of Stoinis and slip Carey in at 7.

Moving forward I'd really like to see a left/right opening combo and Head squeezed into the ODI team to bat at 4 or 5 but keep him away from T20's, pretty happy with the rest of the group though, hopefully Starc can get his mojo back as he would give us that extra bit of venom that Richardson or NCN don't have.

Like Kallis?
Not many if ever better alrounders than him.
His record is second to no one.

Was gonna chuck him in, and Kapil Dev.

Imran Khan was my favourite player as a kid, then Wasim Akram changed me as a cricketer.

Went from bowling spin to pace and copied his run up and action, very fluent and not much stress on the body, I got the most out of what I had.

Statistically Kallis and Sobers streets in front of Imran and Kapil Dev.
But all 4 were sensational players although I didn’t see Sobers play.

Wrong bloke, pretty sure that was Hadlee, if anyone thought Akram was a wanker then clearly they were.

Nup - Wasim copped the same chant. I remember it at the time, and thinking why should he cop that!

F***** oath, Hadlee as an arrogant wanker, Akram was an honest trier that became an absolute legend of the game, I'm not sure if he's aware or not but he made it in my all time world ODI XI

I had no problem with Hadlee, he had an outstanding bowling action.

Very majestic, handy enough with the willow too.

I used to love the mid 80's NZ team, John Wright and Martin Snedden were a couple of my faves back then.

John Wright scrapped hard, a decent bat.Martin Snedden, a turd sandwich of a Test cricketer. Batted like he bowled, like he'd had a couple of cones before he walked onto the ground. Ewen Chatfield's book is worth a read. Hadlee was aloof but had good reason,like AB for us almost single handedly carried his country in the 80's.

How much longer are they going to persist with Finch. has become a total embarrassment, another duck :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

Perhaps he should show some guts and declare himself unavailable because he certainly aint contributing
