No one really believes this. Pant is a far bigger loss to our test team than the odi team. He's shown some improvement in the shorter fornats but isn't all the way there yet.
Why would Rohit drop down the order

He has improved in the OD format and averaging 40 odd over last few years but oddly enough it only seems to be England he can score runs against!
Sadly it does seem best case scenario for him is the England test series in 2024.

Yeah these series are fun for us fans but in the overall scheme they’re tune ups for the WC and little else, especially at this stage of the cycle.
Not a scoreline I expected to wake up to. Overall a decent tour for Aus but a real missed opportunity in the test series.
Feels like neither side has particularly settled on its best ODI combo yet, just a few months out from the WC.

Piss with the line up ?
Except Cummins for Abbot , I don’t see even one change in their line up for WC.
In batting they might drop Labu for Maxwell . That is it. Smith isn’t getting dropped and neither is Warner .
Agar is playing in the WC as 2nd spinner . Aus aren’t playing all 3 of Starc + Cummins + Hazlewood in IND . Stoinis bowling would be more useful than Green in these conditions.
Good series win for the Aussies and a nice confidence boost ahead of the WC where they should be right in the mix.
I think most sides are still fine tuning their teams ahead of the WC but India look in need of more than fine tuning - the batting line up just hasn't fired at all.
The pressure will be on them in the WC to perform but they're going to need to be in much better shape than they are now.

Maxwell, Green and Cummins will probably all play in the line up at the WC. Tbh someone like Matt Short would be worth a shout in the squad too.
Everyone saying Cummins is not that great an ODI bowler is right of course, but he’s the captain so he’s going to be playing and has to be factored in.
Warner in the middle order might just work for the WC, and I do like front loading the batting with Marsh and Head up front.

Who would you bring Green for ? Stoinis?
But I feel Stoinis bowling is more effective on these pitches than Green

I suppose the positive about Suryakumar is that he didn't waste too many deliveries.

Nah ridiculous. Green is so much better than Stoinis in every facet of cricket.
Surely there's no way Stoinis would come close to a full strength team

This would probably be it, crazy that one of the best few bowlers in the world (Haze) potentially doesn't play though. A lot would depend on pitch conditions in that regard.

Hazelwood and Cummins are pretty overrated in ODIs. Neither is really among the best few ODI bowlers in the world. Stoinis may be the pits but Green is still far from an established LO cricketer and it remains to be seen how he'll go. I'm not convinced the current version of Maxwell would've done any better than Stoinis.
The best few ODI bowlers in the world would be Starc, Bumrah, Boult, Nortje, Afridi, Rabada, and probably some spinners.

Whatever it takes!!!
That was a bad loss. Chasing is tough in Chennai but our bowling was pretty pathetic letting Aussies get to 270 from 200/7 or whatever that was. To me, the issue in ODIs for us is that we tend to play 3 #11s and its always jarring when you move from a proper #8 bat to a #11 when a wicket falls. Assuming Bumrah, Pant and Shreyas are out for the year, personally, I will never wanna play all of Siraj, Shami and Kuldeep in the same 11. Ideally, Deepak Chahar can prove his fitness through the IPL and get into the WC side.

Axar (why not)

This side would give us 7 bowling options, with 6 of them able to bowl in the PP.

Hazlewood is No. 1 ranked ODI bowler.

Siraj was #1 ahead of him before he got spanked senseless in a 10 wicket defeat. It is doubtful whether either Siraj or Haze makes his country's best XI which pretty much proves ODI rankings are meaningless in the JAMODI era.
