8. Agar
9. Starc

I can't include Smith and Warner, they are banned. Need to find a new captain.

 

[Daemon]

Finch would be the obvious choice from that lot

 

[TheJediBrah]

Then it's not a full strength team is it?

semantics

semantics

Teams without Warner and Smith in them would only be relevant if people cared about the team for the remaining period of their bans though. By the time the World Cup rolls around and the selectors will even be attempting to pick a full strength side they'll be there, so you might as well include them in any thoughts about what the full strength team is.

I wonder if Stoinis having such a horrible series will count against him when everyone (perhaps most relevantly Mitch Marsh, but also Smith) is available again. I'll back him in for the WC squad but I can see him finding himself outside the first choice eleven if he doesn't score many between now and when it starts.

It was clear what John was saying though.

He actually didn't even say 'full strength' in his post

Yeah but I think TJB was more just saying what I was saying rather than being semantic. What John was doing kind of doesn't matter.

Yeah it was clear but a strange exercise to be undertaking. I don't really see the point.

 

[TheJediBrah]

I could name an England XI but not include Stokes, Bairstow or Buttler because gingers don't have souls and I can't include them, which would be clear. But dumb.

 

[Daemon]

Don't they have ODIs before Warner/Smith can come back? Maybe he's just naming his side for then.

 

[TheJediBrah]

I'm naming my side for when the ICC bans gingers, which is inevitable

 

[S.Kennedy]

 

[FBU]

Pretty solid, but could still go with an extra batsman instead of Agar. Lynn, Khawaja, Short, Smarsh or someone. A bit too many "all-roundery" type players from 4-8

T20s

1 Finch
2 Warner
3 Short
4 Lynn
5 Maxwell
6 Carey
7 Agar
8 Cummins
9 Starc
10 Coulter-Nile
11 Zampa

 

[TheJediBrah]

Still a batsman short IMO. Replace Zampa with Stoinis or Marsh or someone.

 

[Daemon]

Smith?

 

[TheJediBrah]

Acually yes. I know a lot of people don't rate him as a T20 player but that's cause they suck as people. Definitely makes the team stronger.

 

[Daemon]

Nah he definitely sucks. Has his days though.

The problem is he'll bring in Head, get 4 overs out of him and set terrible fields for Agar/Zampa. .

 

[TheJediBrah]

Head shouldn't be in any of the teams anyway though

 

[stephen]

I'm much happier with Smith not as captain

 

[Red]

Head shouldn't be in any of the teams anyway though

He's just made 3 50s in a row.

I'm not a big fan but he's more consistent than anyone at present.
