Group 1 (Afghanistan, Australia, England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Ireland)

Just open with at least one of Stoin or Maxi next game. Their biggest issue is getting caught in the outfield so with the field up should be destructive

Finch is so ****ing useless and I thought he'd already realised that and retired. Guess that was just ODIs

 

[Pup Clarke]

Got to be 100% questioning Shanaka's captaincy
Even if you're a bowler short you shouldn't go back to a guy who's bowled 2 overs for 34

 

[Nintendo]

And people wanted stoinis dropped??

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Isn't stoines a big hitter?

He has his moments.

 

[Socerer 01]

Imagine wanting to drop this guy when he is batting out of position and still smashing two quality spinners

 

[Pup Clarke]

Taking of Maheesh was absolutely stupidity
Easy to say in theory, but it just shows that you don't back your players fully and trust them to execute

 

[Pup Clarke]

Brutal from Stoin. Phenomenal power

 

[Spark]

Brutal innings

 

[Xuhaib]

Yeah Stoinis is decent there are other bigger problems in this Aus side then him.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Finch with a Bavuma-esque contribution to this partnership.

 

[mr_mister]

If we win this game do we drop finch? The guy just looks completely gone

That'd be the correct decision but who knows. He gets a super long rope

 

[Everton Seymour]

If we win this game do we drop finch? The guy just looks completely gone

Remember this group got Justin Langer sacked , the current Aussie coach wouldn't dare drop Finch whose part of the Clique in the side .

 

[Daemon]

What's got Stoinis so riled up

 

[GotSpin]

Well done finch

 

[Pup Clarke]

Oh ma gawwwwd... (A Finch, 2022)

 

[Nintendo]

How many times has finch nearly chopped on today lmao.

 

[Spark]

What's got Stoinis so riled up

I mean they clearly wanted a big NRR win

 

[Nintendo]

This is just absurd from stoinis.

 

[Spikey]

And people wanted stoinis dropped??

Well yeah. He's barely performed and the team is unbalanced and he also has a bowling role which he isn't good at either. This saves him but it's entirely reasonable to think he should be dropped. The discussion will turn to either Finch or David now, particularly with the bowling woes (ie drop David for Agar and bat Wade at 6)

 

[Tec15]

Don't worry Aussies. You can save your excuses on why Stionis should be dropped in favour of Green, for after your loss against England.
