With Cameron White (Who actually wasn't on your list Oz), Shaun Marsh or Matthew Wade to come in to replace Michael Clarke if need be.

Actually he was. lol
You just missed him in the 40 odd players I listed.

Siddle needs to get Maxwell out here

 

[OzRulesFootball]

oh my god, Massive hit to get to 50. Siddle being hit.

 

[OzRulesFootball]

That probably ends the Big Bash campaign for Renegades. Stars well and truly still alive in the comp.

Been liking the look of Pattinson though.

Called it too early. lol

 

[OzRulesFootball]

Tie and into Super Overs.
Ferguson fielding amazing.

 

[OzRulesFootball]

Maybe not. lol

 

[OzRulesFootball]

Tough luck for Ferguson. Amazing back flick to hit stumps but the bowler arm looks to have knocked the stumps a milli second before it hit the stumps. Probably needed half a dozen replays to see that was the case but think they called it right in the end.

 

[Goodie's Guns]

WOW!!! What a finish!! Correct decision was made in my opinion.

The last 6 overs I kept saying to the people I was watching with that the Stars had better get a bit of a move on, and hit a few more boundaries. They could've done with them in the end.

Oh ****e I swear I couldn't see him when I was doing it. LOL
I reckon Berendorff will be stiff to miss out, in fantastic touch but would have to probably stick with the other guys already with international experience for the WC I reckon. Going to be a gun though and another one on our massive list of talented quicks!

 

[Ricky Bobby]

FWIW I don't think the ball hit the stumps. The final replay showed a gap between ball and the stumps and if the ball had hit the stumps there would have been a deflection - and there was no deflection which I could see.

Pretty good mate only Boyce out for Doherty

 

[Brettthejett]

Interesting that there wasn't really an unexpected name in the team. Few players pretty stiff not to make it in the team. But I suppose if there's a injury pattinson or behrendorff would replace a bowler and s marsh would replace a batsman

 

[Grant]

Doherty very lucky to make the squad. Last 3 years: 41 ODIs, 34 wickets @ 44, eco 4.85.

 

[Grant]

My squad was White, Harris and Lyon for Maxwell, Cummins and Doherty. Cummins has played 6 first class, 19 one dayers and 43 T20s in his career. That isn't enough overs for mine to prove his fitness (although he did bowl 65 overs as a 17yo in the 2011 Shield Final inc 48 1st innings overs when Katich seemingly wanted to destroy him).

I'm a huge fan of Behrendorff and Boyce but the WC is not the time to pick debutants. World Cup = One Day Grand Finals.

Once the WC is over they should have Haddin, Watson, Clarke and Doherty retire from ODIs.

 

[OzRulesFootball]

Feel that Doherty and Hazelwood a touch lucky but they obviously decided Boyce lack of experience was against him for such a big tournament and one thing Doherty has is plenty of experience at this level.

Would have like Ryan Harris or Pattinson or Coulter-Nile over Hazelwood but all of them are either coming back from injury or in cotton wool for Test series tours coming up later.
Behrendorff also would have been a nice pick but with 3 left arm paceman in squad I suspect for balance they would prefer one more right arm paceman so Hazelwood got his chance. Must admit he is the one that worries me. Just sense he can be hit around in one dayers. Hopefully proves me wrong. Seemed to bowl tightly in bit of Test I saw so hopefully he does a Clint McKay or Paul Reiffel type role if he plays a few games.

I suspect the expected eleven would have bowling line-up of Starc and Cummins to open then Mitch Johnson and Faulkner first change and Maxwell to provide off spin and Watson some medium pacers when needed. Be interesting to see how much bowling Steve Smith does.

I suspect Mitch Marsh, Doherty and Hazelwood will be used for rotations and will need perform out of their skin to get a spot in a final 11 at last stage of tournament. The tricky part is who gets left out of the others. Either a paceman misses out of Cummins or Starc or Finch or Warner might lose their spot and Watson open. Obviously to start with Michael Clarke misses first game so won't be solved until well into tournament.

If a pace bowler breaks down I like Pattinson or Benhrendorff chances of getting a call up. Think Shaun Marsh a lock to be back up for Clarke.

Reading a bit on foxsports.com.au article about some of players whom missed.

Ryan Harris

The hardest to leave out of the squad according to selector Mark Waugh, but no surprise to player or country given his injury struggles and importance to the Test team. Harris hasn’t played an ODI since 2012 and his selection for the tournament would go against the cotton wool approach to Harris’ bowling that has prolonged his career

Nathan Coulter-Nile

The WA quick suffered another hamstring set back during the ODI series against South Africa and is close to resuming with the Perth Scorchers in the BBL. He will be fully fit by the time Australia plays its first World Cup fixture, but would not be available for the upcoming tri-series and was therefore removed from calculations.

Cameron Boyce

The 25-year-old starred in the T20 series against South Africa earlier in the Summer, but is yet to make his ODI debut. National selector Rod Marsh said a lack of experience and the ODI fielding restrictions meant Boyce or South Australian Adam Zampa weren’t strongly considered.

Jason Behrendorff

The left-arm pacer has been in stunning form in the Big Bash and was one of the leading wicket takers in the Matador Cup this year. He appears destined to gain national selection sooner rather than later, but he might have left his form spike too late.


Shaun Marsh

Marsh averaged almost 60 against England last summer, but elbow and hamstring injuries have limited his opportunities since. With 45 ODIs and three centuries next to his name, he is the most credentialed batsman outside the squad and will be the hot favourite to replace Michael Clarke should the Australian captain not recover in time.

Matthew Wade

Wade took the gloves in the ODI series against South Africa when Brad Haddin was injured and did enough to solidify his position as the No. 2 gloveman in the short formats. With Ben Dunk and Tim Ludeman impressing in the domestic ranks, there are a number of candidates who could step up if required.

 

[Dynamo]

does anyone know if the ODI players will be available for the last 2 rounds. eg. bailey, xavier, etc?

 

[Zagbag]

Nope, all ODI squad players are finished.
