Out of interest BH or Mikeh or anyone TBH come 2019 WC what team would u like to see Aust fielding.....for me Warner, Short, Lynn, Smith, Turner, Carey Stoinis/Marsh Starc Cummins Hazlewood Lyon....with Richardson Kelly Behrendorff as back up pace.....TBH I wouldn't pick Smith but he will go no doubt.....Cam Green or Will Sutherland as bolters.....

Pretty much agree with your thoughts Freezin although interesting that you havent included Travis Head??
I would also throw Stanlake, Kane Richardson and Agar into the mix. Also don't write off Zampa. He has not had the best series this summer but I think his record is pretty good. I would also like to see how D'arcy Short goes at international level as sometimes BBL form doesnt translate into this arena.

So hard to pick a team 18 months out but here goes

Warner
Head
Lynn
Smith
Marsh
Carey
Agar
Cummins
Starc
Lyon
Hazlewood

Reserves
Jhye Richardson
Stanlake
Short
Maxwell
Turner
Zampa

Possibles
Kelly
Tye
Kane Richardson
Neser
NCN ( if fit}
Berendorff (ditto)
Bancroft

oops missed Stoinis. Would probably put him in the reserve group

Have no doubt Head will b in the running Mikeh.....happy for him to replace Warner who like Smith seems to be immune from selection queries ....bowling wise Aust look good...batting wise it will be interesting to see who the selectors plump for.... hopefully the selectors go for ODI specialists like Eng have in Roy, Buttler and Hales batting wise....

Humble apologies to Andrew Tye, seems to have few more tricks than I first thought, whilst the last 2 rubbers have been dead, good to see him bag a few wickets....touch wood he is that death bowler can use in the WC......

The new stadium on TV looks great....esp with a full house....

Great start for cricket at Optus Stadium.Tight match big crowd,barmy army streaker lolol
Well done to England on there 4-1 ODI victory.Great response after the Ashes thrashing.

Kamikaze batting by both teams but especially Australia when they only needed 4.5 per over at one stage with 7 wickets in hand. No batsman wanted to hang around and anchor the chase. Paine tried but it was too late. Great figures for Andrew Tye but most of his wickets were handed to him on a platter

To the streaker.....what a fkn idiot. If he had half a brain, which I suspect he doesn’t, do you think he would be proud to tell his kids and grandchildren that he was the first streaker? Still, he was a Pom by all reports............

And $5000 poorer.And a Police charge. So my guess he will probably lose his passport.
