Geez our ODI squad looks crap, we should win though.

Sean Abbott, Alex Carey, Cooper Connolly, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Spencer Johnson, Aaron Hardie, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Marnus Labuschagne, Glenn Maxwell, Tanveer Sangha, Matt Short, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa

Dunno why we need 17 for a two match series, I'm guessing everyone will play a match as they're playing for the Cup of FA.

The probable list might look like:
Short
Head
Lab
Smith
Hardie
Maxwell
Carey
Abbott
Johnson
Zampa
Ellis

G2:
Short
JFM
Smith
Hardie
Inglis
Connolly
Maxi
Starc
Zampa
Sangha
Dwarshuis

Probably because of the Champions Trophy straight afterwards, where they'll have to have 15 plus at least two reserves

The two ODI's in Sri Lanka are pretty much warm up matches for the Champions Trophy, originally it was only one but another was added. You would think it's an opportunity for the guys in this squad that are not in the Champions Trophy squad to play well to get into that finalised CT squad in which four spots are currently available.

So basically two of these will miss out:
Abbott
Connolly
Dwarshuis
JFM
Johnson
Sangha

You'd think JFM is safe, I'm backing Dwarshuis and Sangha to be the two that miss.

All included in the squad with Connolly named as the travelling reserve.

The first ODI v Sri Lanka is on at 3.30pm this afternoon.

Where’s Richie when you need him …

[Lightning McQueen]

I just heard that it's going to be one hand one bounce when we bat.

[Brodlach]

I just heard that it's going to be one hand one bounce when we bat.

Going on our recent record you’d think it’s when we field

The Lankans have fallen a long way since the days of Jayasuriya & Kaluwitharana
