heh, faulkner got dropped

ICC Champions Trophy squad named | cricket.com.au

AUSTRALIA SQUAD: Steve Smith (c), David Warner (vc), Pat Cummins, Aaron Finch, John Hastings, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Moises Henriques, Chris Lynn, Glenn Maxwell, James Pattinson, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade, Adam Zampa

 

[brockley]

Lack of runs I'd say,he hasn't scored a 50 since the world cup,maybe even before.
Hastings has 1 50,and played a lot less games.

 

[Spikey]

no hustle either skip

 

[Starfighter]

Pattinson? Hmmm. He's generally been gash at ODIs, but that was a long time ago. Can see the reason for dropping Faulkner. Hasn't got runs (although he's not had all that many opportunities) and his bowling has been much less effective recently.

THE DUKE IS BACK BABY

yeah pattinson from memory an interesting choice, from memory didn't he get smacked around in the bbl? admittedly that's not a gauge of one day abilities but it is for just LO abilities generally

 

[morgieb]

Yeah I don't really rate Patto with the white ball either, regardless of how good he is with the red one.

He sure did. Economy of twelve and a half. Seemed to bowl a lot of hittable short balls on leg. To me he's always seemed to have a bit of trouble controlling the white ball.

 

[NUFAN]

Imagine how licked your lips would be having got through spells from Starc, Haze, Cummins and Pattinson, Travis Head comes on to bowl.

Forkers Champion Trophy debut will have to wait.

I'd say that Australia should roll with a bowling attack of

Starc
Hazlewood
Hastings
Zampa
Stoinis/Head/Maxwell

If we were playing our strongest bowling attack.

Undoubtedly Zampa will get dropped for no reason on a deck that requires a change of pace and we will lose badly.

You're having a real laugh if you think Hastings is getting selected over Cummins, and even Pattinson. I get the feeling they put Hastings in there because they felt they had to.
