Going to be opening  8)

[Nige]

Australia squad: Steve Smith (c), Ashton Agar, George Bailey, Joe Burns, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Patrick Cummins, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Marsh, James Pattinson, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade, Shane Watson, David Warner, Cameron Boyce (T20I only).

Still picking Bailey and Watto, interesting... If they truly wanted to go the full way with generational change, they could have dropped them in favour of others.

You'd think it would be something like...

Warners
Burns
Smith (c)
Stoinis
Maxwell
MMarsh
Wade (wk)
Starc
NCN
Patto/Cummins (the other will be 12th)
Agar

The order is probably wrong, but that's a super rough draft.

I'm thinking very similar to Nigeyy

Warner
Burns
Stoinis
Smith (C)
Bailey
Maxwell
Wade (WK)
Starc
Agar
Coulter-Nile
Cummins

12th Man: Pattinson

Bailey > MMarsh. But could be either way. But Stoinis is ready to set the world on fire.

Surely you're not stealing my boy  :P (see DP <----) I have got to find my quote for when I said stoinis would play for aus, would have to be at least 18-24 months ago haha. Big fan of him (as you can tell) hope he gets his chance.

How about Chris Lynn first class average of 45 ain't shabby.

I rate Lynn highly, but Burns has a similar avaergae and appears to be higher in selector's thoughts.

In the test team would rather see Bancroft replace Bucky, more like for like don't need any agression with Warner already there. Burns and/or S marsh can slot in for Clarke and Voges if he goes.
