Also the umpires held concerns that they'd have to change the ball after every over.

Really? Not that this doesn't make sense and it's not a valid reason, but where'd you hear this?

right up front- I'm on the SCG trust, so I'm far from impartial. BUT- CA/CNSW are only offering 2:1 tix at T20 coz they've sold so few

@scgmacgill Absolutely nothing to do with last night's match being called off due to poor weather. desperate attempt to boost ticket sales

Geez I am a dinosaur for thinking that, when you are ranked 4th in the world, guys should play in live rubbers at the peak of Summer.
You, by contrast, are so cutting edge for thinking they should be rested. You are really on the razor's edge mate.
I think we have seen where pulling blokes in and pulling blokes out has gotten us
So cutting edge, you are

Rotation is reality
Even M Clarke admits rotation is hurting....but apparently you know better
Siddle's hammy was only metioned after the loss
Contemporaneous evidence is always the most reliable
Do you want to see Michael Clarke playing two contextless ODIs or a full Test series in India?
Not trying to be 'cutting edge' so much as prioritising Test cricket. No sense having players go down with preventable injuries in the lead up to India and back-to-back Ashes series.
If Clarke played 2 more games on his semi-injured hamstring and then broke down in the first Test, everyone would riot for him not being rested before hand. And rightfully so, it would be utterly ridiculous. No sense in risking injury for our top players ahead of such a big 12 months of cricket.

To be playing Clarke in the first two ODIs would have been an utter, unforgivable travesty given the schedule we have and the fact that we and everyone else knew that he was carrying a hamstring injury that he has had before and which has put him out of entire series because we rushed him back.
I would sooner rest the entire XI for an entire home ODI series than put our most important players at risk at the top of a year where we play the three of the most important series for any Australian team.

What they stuffed up was pulling three cogs of what seems to be the preferred top 7 out at the same time.
Warner should have played the first two while Clarke rested, and then gotten his rest.

I'm not trying to be cutting edge at all. I hate the idea of genuine rotation in Test matches - even the young bowlers tbh. But the fact of the matter is that Australia have too much cricket scheduled, so if we don't want players burnt out or injured for the Tests then we'll need to rest them from ODIs sometimes. This isn't even a new thing; resting and rotation in "live" ODIs has been happening for years, and the selectors stopped really caring about the actual results of these series years ago.

5.Bailey
6.Maxwell
7.Faulkner
8.Cutting
9.Starc
10.Laughlin(would be Hazelwood if he was fit and inform)

Crowds not giving a **** when team doesn't give a **** shocker!
And that is not a pro or anti rotation comment. Its just obvious this summer's limited overs schedule is meaningless except for everyone except for the touring teams (SL and WI).
I mean Sangakkara says his highlight was winning the 3 match ODI series vs. Australia a few years back... soooo

Why didn't they go back to the Tri-Series after it was in last year?
It also helps them with their rotation excuse, as they can rotate throughout the series and then have best side for finals, assuming they make it.
