That's why I find it funny Short is being talked about for T20 captain (they say it's him or Inglis). I don't see how you can make a player captain if they haven't fully established themselves in the team
Hes more than established in t20. 25.5 @165 overall, better batting in the top 3. Very similar to stoinis in the fact he's a great t20 cricketer, not so great in ODI so far.

Still say Short likely to make it and will have a decent enough career for Aus especially in T20
That was a really strange shot from him tonight though but maybe watching JFM at the other end doesn't help.

He's just too limited for ODIs IMO. Has a really narrow range of shots and obviously hopeless against spin. Fine in T20s because he can just hit, but his game isn't rounded enough for me.

This is pretty much the perfect situation for Smith to get going. Low target, openers out early but got off to a slight flier...

I have zero faith in this top 4. Smith isn't half the ODI cricketer he was circa 2022 and the other 3 have yet to establish themselves at this level.

If everyone is fit

1.Head
2.Inglis
3.Marsh
4.Green

Looks much better. Plenty of bowling and a keeper in the top 4 gives you tons of flexibility aswell.

Smith is fine in ODIs still IMO. Makes well-compiled 50s regularly.

Don’t like to make fun of how people talk, but how could anyone listen to Warner speak and think “that’s a commentator”?

like obviously I know why he’s there but come on.

Incoming kiss of death, but he's doing this on his todger rn. Also relatively still pre-delivery by his standards.

Also kills me to say Warner's tech break down of McJerk there was decent tstl.
