Who should be in the Aussie one day side?

How should we be looking to line up in the one day side? I just think its a good place for players to get a taste of international cricket before they play tests. That and we need to replace the older players and ready for the next world cup. I think we should go for a young squad.

1. M. Hayden - Jaques injured and no other opener looking suitable.
2. R. Quiney - Been in great form. Form player of the comp and an opener.
3. M. Clarke (c) - Time to start the hand over process, Ricky is too old and not performing consistantly.
4. M. Hussey (VC) - Class.
5. L. Ronchi + - big hitter, failing at domestic level as an opener, looked good in the west indies.
6. S. Watson
7. A. Symonds
8. M. Johnson - needs to work on his seam but needs to be played, big potential.
9. B. Casson - Need a front line spinner.
10. B. Hilfenhaus - Futuer test swing bowler, very skilled.
11. N. Bracken - one day superstar.

Hilfenhaus & Bracken to open bowling, both swinging it, Left and right arm (Both ways).

B. Hodge, D. Hussey, S. Marsh, B. Lee, S. Tait, A. Voges, J. Krejza, S. Clark, D. Bollinger, B. Haddin.


Plenty of rotation, and always play two swing bowlers (Hilfenhaus, Bracken, Bollinger) as we will need them in England to swing the Duke ball. We are also desperate for one in the test side. That and they are very dangerous especially in one dayers.

Ronchie has had a poor year but that is as an opener. Lee should be rested a lot and Tait played a fair bit. Casson and Krejza played, casson might be more economical.

Perhaps too many all rounders? Drop one for a batsman like Marsh perhaps.


Ponting looks almost done, didn't make runs last summer and is too old to play in the next W.C.
 
Re: Who should be in the Aussie one day side?

Not sure on that. Luke Ronchi should not be playing imo. I would play Paine there instead if we dont play Haddin. We have the best domestic competition in the world which is shown by the instand success of Siddle and Krejza so I dont think we need to blood players.

Hayden
Katich
Ponting
Clarke
D.Hussey
M.Hussey
Haddin
Lee
Hauritz/Cullen
Tait
Bracken

Cant see Casson getting a go in our ODI line-up considering he cant get an OD game for NSW. ;) Hauritz has been bowling great lately and deserves a spot more then anyone. Cullen is one for the future too.
 
Re: Who should be in the Aussie one day side?

Youre right about Hauritz and Cullen although you picked a lot of players who will struggle to be at the Next World Cup. I recon Lee will need a rest and if he bowls with a scrambled seam in one dayers like he did tests he'll go for a lot of runs and ************ all wickets. Katich IMO is too slow and hits out when put under pressure by the defencive side of OD cricket. I am afrade Punter will go out like Steve Waugh, in embarrisment after hanging around too long in one day cricket. Tait Can swing the ball and usually produces a good seem but it's a pity he collapses at the crease and loses his bounce. Haddin might need to rest some hand injuries too.

We definatly Need the Hilf, he's been taking wickets and the best swing bowling prospect for tests.

I don't know if I could have Johnson in my side while he is still having problems with his seam position although he can be hard to hit with his bounce.
 
Re: Who should be in the Aussie one day side?

I can see David and Michael Hussey being there, not sure on Lee though. If Dvaid Hussey finally gets a run hes gonna make the most of it and I would imagine play until about 38, same as Michael. If I was to name a team in which every player will be able to feature in next years WC (I know thats not what you mean I wanna do it anyway lol) it would be this;

Quiney/Dighton
Hughes/Jaques
Clarke (c)
David Hussey
Paine (wk)
Symonds
M.Hussey
Hauritz/Casson/Holland
Lee/Tait
Bracken
Tait/Bollinger

Anyone else?

On Hilfy- He hasn't shown the form he showed 2 years ago when he was argueably the best bowler in the domestic scene. How old is Noffke? He deserves a run imo.

Not sure on Johnson either, not really a fan of him ;)

If we were going into a finals game in the VB series IMO this would be the side:

1. Hayden
2. Watson
3. Ponting
4. Clarke
5. Symonds
6. M.Hussey
7. Haddin
8. White
9. Lee
10. Johnson
11. Bracken

Unlucky ones are Marsh, Hopes, D. Hussey and S.Clark.
 
Re: Who should be in the Aussie one day side?

Good thread guys.

I'd go with,

1. Hayden
2. Marsh
3. *Ponting
4. Clarke
5. M. Hussey
6. Symonds
7. +Haddin
8. Lee
9. Doherty
10. Johnson
11. Bracken

Others: D. Hussey, Tait, Watson


Pretty standard order there. Hayden and Marsh to open with Ponting at three with Clarke following at four. Hussey bats well at five in the one-dayers with Symonds in at six. Despite being in trouble, Symo is Australia's best all-rounder and would be an automatic inclusion.

Haddin bats at seven as I don't think Ronchi is ready for international cricket and Paine is slowly catching him up. Brett Lee comes in at eight with Xavier Doherty as the spinner and also Johnson and then swing king Bracken. I really like Doherty's bowling and I believe he is a very good one-day spinner capable of taking regular wickets and keeping the runs down.

Dave Hussey just misses out, Tait would be the back-up bowler and Watson the back-up all-rounder. Watto would consider himself pretty stiff to miss out and I rate him as a one-day all-rounder.

Pretty good side there.
 
Re: Who should be in the Aussie one day side?

I think Jaques is injured and I am fairly sure that Hilfenhaus was troubled by injury. I'm not a big fan of Johnson but he would be a very good bowler if he could get the ball leaving his hand right. That is why we need to get rid of our bowling coach, he has achieved nothing and our quicks have gone down hill since he has arrived.

I am afrade our selectors are afrade of change and will probably go with a side littered with oldies like Punter, Katich & Lee. I believe our OD side should be preparing for the next WC and also be a place to bring players into the test side.
 
Re: Who should be in the Aussie one day side?

Australia is really in need of a new front line spinner. Krejza is too expensive. Who do you all think is in front position for the job?
I reckon maybe Dan Cullen, now that he has some experience.

Hayden
Marsh
Ponting
Clarke
Symonds
Hussey
Ronchi/Paine
Watson
Cullen??
Lee/Johnson
Bracken
 
Re: Who should be in the Aussie one day side?

I would rather play Hauritz or Cullen over Doherty. Hauritz has been a proven run stopped in One Day cricket and is capable of bowling around the 35-45 over mark if needed.
 
Re: Who should be in the Aussie one day side?

Tim Paine +
Shaun Marsh
Ricky Ponting
Michael Clarke
Michael Hussey
David Hussey/Symonds
Shane Watson
Lee
McGain
Bracken
Johnson

I feel Paine deserves a crack at international level, and it seems it is Haydens time to move on and seeing as Paine is an opener, solves that problem. I'm picking on the assumption Symonds is unavailable, he'd slot in for D.Hussey. As for the spinning spot, McGain is extremely economical and a wicket taker, a perfect fit for the ODI team!
