Or Lyon (not counting the seamers as you don't want them playing every Test....maybe Cummins)That pretty much narrows it down to just Smith

Perhaps, but I think he'd epic fail in England even in the middle-order. Might do better in Australia though.Missing the obvious choice. Bring Finch back as a middle-order bat and captain. That's where he should have been selected anyway, and he's already captain of the limited-overs sides.
Genuinely good captain though, and can't do any worse than Wade, Khawaja, Paine etc. with the bat.Perhaps, but I think he'd epic fail in England even in the middle-order. Might do better in Australia though.
You could play Finch as Keeper/middle order bat. Just super glue Paine to his back and get Finch to stick his arms inside his shirt when fielding - Paine's arms are used to keep, and Finch's when batting. It'd still be like a piss weak version of Adam Gilchrist, but we'd probably score more runs. The only problem I can see is that Finch would run like Inzamam Ul-Haq between the wickets.Missing the obvious choice. Bring Finch back as a middle-order bat and captain.

boy I hope this isn't about me because I feel like time has been pretty kind to my "dropping bancroft is stupid" postWarner and Smith can't be considered. Usman is shakey. Wade nup and Travis needs to establish himself as a batsman first. None of the fast bowlers given their fitness record so that leaves Lyon and Paine. Which really means Paine. No other option just yet so he has to stay. At least he's been contributing unlike say Bancroft. Yet one guy here hates Paine but wanted Bancroft retained. Durrrr ... Hilditch level of selectorship.
who cares? we overemphasis the captaincy. just pick any old ****, like they did with tim paine, and bin them when they don't deserve a place in the teampaine is the only captaincy option, smith was a bad captain even before the ball tampering (woke people to agree), nobody else is secure enough in the team to warrant usurping of the captaincy either... paine is also the best wicketkeeper in the country out of the possible selections, i saw a guy advocating to give wade the gloves or the captaincy and nearly spat my drink tbh
guess we could bring watto back
Just give it to Cummins as an interim measure and then shove it onto whoever secures a middle order spot.who cares? we overemphasis the captaincy. just pick any old ****, like they did with tim paine, and bin them when they don't deserve a place in the team
I don't think he would have, it probably would have been the same ordinary stuff, probably would have taken a catch thoughWhy do you think he'd have scored any more runs than Harris? I get they're both cod ordinary, mind you.
Dan, I hope you're not suggesting someone should break Paine's finger....although based on his posting last night, morgieb would do itJust give it to Cummins as an interim measure and then shove it onto whoever secures a middle order spot.
Or, y'know, give it to Head like they probably would if Paine broke his finger again and had to retire..
This is your chance for redemption morgieb.Dan, I hope you're not suggesting someone should break Paine's finger....although based on his posting last night, morgieb would do it
