I thought Fanning looked terrible tbh. Played and missed nearly 1 in 5 balls he faced. Not great to drop your young player after 1 game thoughFanning dropped for D'a'r'c'y S'h'o'r't, not so keen on that one myself. Thought he batted pretty well in the first game, seems harsh especially as I can't see Short's bowling being very much of a factor here
Yeah picking Short makes some sense when he's going to be one of the first five bowlers or at least the best spinner, but he's sixth (hell maybe even seventh if they give Cartwright a trundle) bowler here and Rocchiccioli is playing so he's been picked as a specialist #7 bat, which is silly. I would've stuck with Fanning for longer than one game but if they really didn't think he was up to it I'd suggest Turner ahead of Short on batting alone too.Fanning dropped for D'a'r'c'y S'h'o'r't, not so keen on that one myself.

Wait, I've got it, they should've picked the in form man Nick Hobson.Yeah picking Short makes some sense when he's going to be one of the first five bowlers or at least the best spinner, but he's sixth (hell maybe even seventh if they give Cartwright a trundle) bowler here and Rocchiccioli is playing so he's been picked as a specialist #7 bat, which is silly.

Hunt, harris and renshaw were the 3 openers picked for the Aus A tour of sri lanka earlier this year. Would assume the pecking order bar pucovski is Harris>Hunt>>Renshaw>>Whiteman/Street.Who would CW bring in if one of the Test openers was injured? Assume for now that Pucovski wouldn't be considered yet.
I'd probably go with Whiteman but good arguments could be made for Hunt, Street (despite Queensland selectors not agreeing) and Ward (especially if he makes this a big one).
We'd probably just end up with Harris but it's a nice thought experiment anyway.
Yeah I think that's the actual pecking order for sure but CW's thoughts could be more interesting given how close they all are.

Street's treatment recently has been..... odd. Made a 100 vs the lions for Aus-A, then got ignored for the Aus-A tour of sri lanka and now isn't even making the bulls shield squad despite the fact that he's made two daddy hundreds in the queensland premier cricket comp this season.
