Australia ODI side named

[McLOVIN]

11. Tait

oh yea, he is back in ODI. I should add him to my team

 

[Themer]

lol doherty, he would get smashed to all parts, he's not overly quick and he doesn't spin the ball.

Bit harsh to base everything on the one test match, he's got a brilliant OD record for a spinner in Australia and looked very good in his debut ODIs in which he's got four wickets at 15.

 

[Num]

1. S.Watson
2. B.Haddin (wk)
3. B.Hodge
4. M.Clarke
5. C.White
6. M.Hussey
7. J.Hopes
8. B.Lee
9. X.Doherty
10. S.Tait
11. D.Bollinger

I think Hopes was treated a bit harshly by the selectors, particularly given that his replacement at #7 is Smith. Smith hasn't shown he can be a better batsman than Hopes at ODI level, nor do I think he's as likely to keep it tight in the middle overs.

You obviously don't watch Aussie domestic cricket then?

 

[hedger_14]

Well he doesn't spin a ball. I wouldn't say he gets smashed though. He's a reasonable opening bowler in One Day cricket.

 

[riz7khan12]

he would get carted in india is all i'm saying, they need someone who flights the ball and gets spin or someone like yardy/vettori.

Have you ever seen Yardy bowl? He's never flighted a delivery in his life let alone got one to spin. He bowls left hand darts at varying speeds.

here's what i want to see, maybe against associate nations it might work.

1. Shane Watson
2. Brad Haddin+
3. Brad Hodge
4. Michael Hussey
5. Cameron White*
6. David Hussey
7. Steven Smith
8. Mitchell Johnson
9. Brett Lee
10. Ryan Harris/Peter Siddle
11. Doug Bollinger

D Hussey & Steven Smith are the two spinners and 4 fast bowlers.

Ye this would probably be the best XI. Just replace Ponting for Hodge when the WC starts.

Also we would have to forget abt Ryno Harris for now since he is highliy unlikely to be back for the WC. Thus Tait would come instead of Sidvicious who probably isn't suited to bowling in ODIs just yet.

 

[riz7khan12]

i just wanted a fast bowlers attack to scare the batsmen really, so Tait would be even better.

Note the "or". I think he meant "they need someone who flights the ball and gets spin or someone like yardy/vettori (who generally do not spin the ball an awful lot but generally keep it tight in the middle overs of an ODI)."

 

[aussie1st]

Would be harsh to discard Doherty because of a mistake by the selectors. He is still a very good limited overs bowler and deserved his ODI call up. He is definitely worth another look in this format.

 

[aussie1st]

Shane Watson, Brad Haddin (wk), Michael Clarke (capt), Cameron White, David Hussey, Michael Hussey, Steven Smith, Mitchell Johnson, Nathan Hauritz, Brett Lee, Xavier Doherty, Peter Siddle, Shaun Tait, Doug Bollinger.

Hodge really unlucky not to make it, same for Christian. These selectors really love Siddle as he hasn't done much in this format to warrant a spot. And no idea what David Hussey did to earn a recall.

 

[War]

Almost the perfect squad really you can say.

Great to see them picking Dussey for ODIs again, since i feared they would pick Ferguson over him. Hopeully he takes his chances this time & further into the WC, since a test birth after that is very possible.

Hauritz & Doherty obviously are battling for one spot in WC 15-man squad. So their next spot for the WC 15 will be taken by the back-up keeper in Paine or Wade.

Siddle shouldn't be their. When Ponting returns he will take his spot.

 

[ZexyZahid]

I was surprised that Callum Ferguson wasn't selected, but cricinfo is mentioning that he may participate later on in the ODI series.

The best bowling attack of Australia would be Johnson, Lee, Tait and Harris (if he recovers from his injury). Normally in a team a spinner would fit in, because Australia is really lacking from a spinner nowadays. I really hope Cameron White will be selected for the World Cup.

Dussey never should have been dropped in th 1st place as ive argued before. When he played ODs in 2009 he didn't have a settled position & AUS had alot of injuries.

His all-round ability with his off-spin, would make him very useful in the sub-continent once he plays to potential.
