Better than having another Victorian in the side.

Same as I always felt about Hayden

Yeah but Hayden was at ATG player. That helps. Head wouldn't even get a look in to international cricket if he was from the 1990s-2000s.
And I don't think Head's a bad bloke, I just don't like him as a player.

I don't think Head scoring three fifties is really as glowing for him as it's being made out, given:
He definitely didn't have a bad series by any stretch, and I think the best thing about it was that he never wasted deliveries as it gives him a bit of a different edge to the other opening options who made runs, but if you didn't think he should be in the full strength eleven then this series probably wouldn't have changed your mind (unless you only thought that because you were a big D'Arcy Short fan...)
- He looked really awful to start his innings most of the time
- He didn't convert even though he was opening - his top score was 63
- Probably his main competition for a spot in the full strength side hit two tons

I don't think Head comes close to the full-strength side. If we have to pick a croweater I'd much rather Callum Ferguson. Far superior player.

I'm pretty sure the selectors view Ferguson as being too old and only to be brought in as a replacement for S Marsh, if ever.
My full strength XI FWIW:
Warner
Finch (c)
Smith
S Marsh
Stoinis
M Marsh
Carey
Agar
Cummins
Starc
Hazlewood
Maxwell, Stanlake, Lyon next cabs off the rank.

It's a weird one, initially I thought his career was done given the way he got hung out to dry by the dressing room. But Australia's ODI side looks bad enough that they may turn to him out of desperation. Will be keen to see what happens there.

I was thinking the same, thought Warner was done. But now I'm pretty confident he'll be back almost immediately when he becomes available. The rest of the players are just too **** to be wasting an ATG player like Warner, regardless of his c***iness

Oh - and I get burned for Buttler in a 25 year team. Warner's now competing with Tendulkar, Amla, Anwar, Abbas and Haynes. I think I prefer Guptill and Dhawan - let alone Bairstow tbh.

Wasn't just talking about ODIs, just his selection in general

Well that will make Gavaskar, Hobbs, Boycott et al relieved to read.

Need to score quickly in my ATG sides boyo. Also need grit and determination and sandpaper and SBW leftovers
