Australian T20 World cup squad

[GVGjr]

Tough competition and we have selected the following players in a 15 man squad

Australia's T20 World Cup squad: Mitch Marsh (c), Ashton Agar, Pat Cummins, Tim David, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade, David Warner, Adam Zampa.

How unlucky are Fraser-McGurk and Short for not making the squad?
Could we have done something different with a 2nd keeper?

I would have left out Stoinis and Wade for JFM and Short, although Stoinis seems to have hit some form in the IPL after what feels like a lean couple of years.

Smith left out as well

Cam Green has a high score of 37 and strike rate of 122 in the IPL after 7 hits - I'd say he's very lucky to be there as well.

Warner's also averaging 23 and striking at 136 - again, shouldn't be there on form.

I'd have left either of those guys out for JFM. I think Short is probably unlucky in that we have so many top order batters already in the squad.

Green is lucky but I would prefer to stick with the younger guy if it's a close call.

Warner I just feel like he will produce something in his final time on the big stage. Apparently he is in some doubt with a hand injury leaving JFM a chance of being a late inclusion.

Do we need both Inglis and Wade? Could have McDermott been an option as a back-up keeper?

Re: Australian T20 World cup squad

Aussies playing a warm up game v Namibia with only 9 players, George Bailey and Brad Hodge filling in as sub fielders at times, Bailey even taking a catch in the outfield, 5 or 6 players spending an extra few days with family but a somewhat bizarre decision to only go in with 9 players.

Namibia made 119 with the Aussies 0-39 from the first 3 overs.

Great win to beat England. 6 off the first over, then 67 off the next 4.

Re: Australian T20 World cup squad

Australia up against Namibia have decided to bowl first 3/16

A win takes Australia 3/3 and into last 8

Should Australia make sure England don't progress?

I don't think they should play around with form, but a washout against Scotland would be a good result.
