Shady Slim

International Coach
tbf i don't disagree that the pile on to green may be somewhat unfair - as others have said he certainly can't be any worse than marcus stoinis

but it's an eyetest thing as much as it is a numbers thing and his confidence just looks in the gutter atm. aside from a few innings here and there he's still yet really to look comfortable, and that is totally fine - he's young - and wrangling with this shouldn't be seen as marking his card forever. he's here and in the squad and probably in the best xi from that squad - but speaking to his long term development as an international cricketer, going back to domestix or even a long county stint wouldn't go astray i reckon for his future as a test allrounder

Ngl am coming around to Shri’s idea that Head (if fit) or Short open with Marsh, Warner goes to three and everyone moves down a spot with Inglis/Stoinis missing out
Nah, Smith averages 55 at 3 and ~35 batting lower in ODI. He bats 3.

India should have managed run chase much better 144-1 after 20 overs they basically needed 210 runs in 30 overs at 7 runs an over
223/3 than fold
They not pick my neighbour now Ashwin In who 😇played 19 ODI in last 8 years🤣

I do not think Ash can hit sixes in last power play like Axar bhai (3rd game without axar we lost by 66 runs)

Ashwin great bowler in test but he never play Domestic regularly or he not comfy in ODI, we can see next month.

BCCI wants to take chance so they Gamble Ashwin Inclusion Axar is not injure / Tamim also not injure but BD told "he is injured" every country doing this since years

With Maxwell being somewhat reliable with the ball there's a good chance they'll go with an all-rounder at 8, especially if it's looking spinny.

Warner
Marsh
Smith
Marnus
Carey
Inglis/Stoinis
Maxwell
Green (?Agar)
Starc/Cumm
Zampa
Haze/Cumm

If Head were fit this would be even more likely than playing 4 bowlers
I would like Agar in playing xl in india probably CA think without
Travis we need someone more dependable in the team so they pick Labu.

Maxwell not successful at every venue
