The asterisk might not only be because of the not out.

Aw that makes me feel a bit sad for Finchy now, he's a human who feels doubts like us all
Can we keep him in the side another 12 months?

Fewer (not less). Sorry, but this is a major bugbear for grammar pedants.

I got this vibe too. It would be the best thing he could do and really gain him respect
If this game was in Sydney could have been a very different story. Stoinis, David and co. would be all at sea against the spinners

I see SL are playing us (NZ) and England at the SCG. Definitely still a chance to reach the semis.

I kind of think he already has a fair bit of respect overall. It's difficult to self-analyse as to when a slump becomes an abject decline. True he should have known it by now, but the selectors really needed to tap him on the shoulder 6-12 months ago.
If he does drop himself, Green to opener I suppose. Adds another bowling option which can't hurt. No secret my preference would be TPC in at three, Marsh at four, Maxwell, Stoinis, Wade, Agar and drop the Singapore Sling, who's as hit and miss as anyone else, ordinary in the field and doesn't bowl any more. If he was bowling more I'd probably keep him tbh. Would also bring in Ellis for Cummins, but that won't happen. I know Zampa has been good for ages but Agar is better with the bat and in the field, where Zampa is a bit of a parody. If there's two spinners to be played, then have them both.

Definitely still a chance to have two wash outs as well tbf

If Finch is left out we're probably stuck with Cummins to captain the XI
Inconvenient that the 2 players who should be left out the most are the only 2 realistic captaincy candidates

International Captain
When you see a patient hooked up to life support and flat lining, they sometimes blip into life, giving hope. Then they start flat lining again. Just like Mitch Marsh's career. ----^---- (Legend ^ = 2021).
Also kudos to Stoinis groupies making the most of one of his rare night outs. He doesn't give you much to brag about so well done for all the told you so's.
Tbf he's not the biggest problem which brings us to Finch. He looked tense in the pre match and it spilled over when Danny M asked him how he's going? "Not bad" he snapped back "and you?". Danny didn't ask any more questions that could be mistaken for form.
Would think about swapping out Finch and David for Smith and Green. Would love to see David make a difference but concede the opinion of some here he's not for this level. Cummins is a worry but as long as he has Kane as a competitor he keeps his spot. We'll need a captain too. Keep Agar.

Yeah Finch actually looked pissed off about it, unlike say Kane Williamson.

And Smith who can't make the team.
Cummins shouldn't captain (or play) all three forms. Marsh could be captain, while Warner would be an "interesting" choice.
