***Official*** Australia in Ireland and England 2015 (limited overs)

Why did Smith need to give Morgan a send off? Is it part of the job description when becoming an Aus captain to be a ****?

Taylor is that kind of no. 3 who the batting team doesn't want after 35 overs if there are too many wickets in hand.

BARNES OUT
Would have thought Henriques and Shaun Marsh were on the edge of the ODI squad on the basis of that game they played against England in January.But for whatever reason,the selectors have decided to move on post World Cup to younger players.Fair enough on Marsh,who isn't into his 30s (even though I would have loved to see him open the batting in this series)but harsh on Henriques,who's still in his 20s,had a gun IPL season and has been overlooked in favour of Marcus ****ing Stoinis.
Did you miss the thing where half of his face got caved in whilst fielding?

Taylor has an impressive First class record and a terrific List A record. I would never have guessed that he's only 25 as well, looked more like 28-30. Looks a good long-term prospect for England

More as in they both wont reach there full potential and everyone (from opposition countries) hates them.

I'd go for this top 7 for England, when everyone is fit

Roy
Taylor
Root
Morgan
Ali
Buttler
Stokes

Keeping Buttler at 6 because a dependable finisher is required there. Ali can counter the spinners when needed too.

Moeen should be top 3 or not at all; too boundary reliant IMO. I'd be rolling with:

Roy
Moeen
Root
Taylor
Morgan
Buttler
Stokes/Willey/Woakes

I could be talked into swapping Taylor and Root but that's what I'm rolling with anyway.
