Weird.

 

[Spikey]

hughes at 3 and clarke at 4 is the right move though.

It wouldn't surprise me if they've made that change to give Hussey more game time in Shield cricket, which means they are either still looking at him for the Ashes or he is already in the squad for India. Finch isn't even in the frame for tests so doesn't matter if he misses Shield games.

 

[uvelocity]

maybe they just really believe in fincheh but didnt want him to miss big bash finals

 

[ajdude]

yeah I didn't think he went THAT bad in the ODIs, gun knock in the first, run out twice iirc and second top score in the last ODI, there's probably more to it

 

[Spikey]

remember, hussey was being dropped when watson returned anyway. (him v bailey. they go with bailey). maybe they want to give finch another game or two, just to see whether they should forget about him or not.

As I said the other day, not sure there's a better number 6 in the country in ODI cricket who can come in and add impetus to the innings, like he did in the Hobart match.

Impressively random team selection from Oz, it must be said.

Form is temporary, class is permanent not a theory the selectors have any truck with, clearly.
