Who will be in the plane for England for the World Cup?

Here we examine the composition of the ODI membership composed of 14 people who will face South Africa, from Perth this afternoon.

In the absence of Tim Paine, Nathan Lyon or Mitchell Marsh for various reasons, many changes occur as we evaluate the candidates and whether or not they will be in the plane for England for the World Cup.

Aaron Finch (C)

Verdict – certainly.

Finch has suddenly become the most important man of Australian cricket over the next twelve months. Captain of two white ball formats, Finch is expected to lead Australia to both the World Cup of 50 years in England in 2019 and the T20 World Cup in Australia in 2020.

A proven performer in opening the baton in the shortest form, Finch will be very much in demand for his big scores and his leadership in a transition phase for Australian cricket.

D'Arcy Short

Verdict – 50/50.

Short would be one of the top three places in the World Cup and will have to fire this summer in the 50-Over Cricket for Australia, with David Warner and Steve Smith both out of the team. While his A-list record is impressive, averaging 46 out of 25, he was greatly helped by an Imperial 257 for WA this summer at Hurstville Oval.

He only has a few games in ODI colors, so he will have to really try his luck this summer with dominant performances. Looks like a top-notch player for mine, and if one of the spinners at the fringe fails to sneak, his leggy left arm might give him a slight edge in a marginal selection.

Chris Lynn

Verdict – probable.

Lynn would be more likely to be in the plane to go to England, since he is the most explosive white balloon player in the country when he is fit. Form is a factor, but with Lynn, fitness is the main concern, and I thought he managed to prove it in the JLT Cup.

I think that as a drummer, he pushed his game to the next level, scoring 452 points at age 75 while he was captain of Queensland in the tournament. While Lynn hit at 117, it's her sleeve debut that has been more measured, three and a half centuries and two centuries being the reward of a calmer but equally destructive outcome.

Shaun Marsh

Verdict – improbable.

Shaun Marsh has a decent white ball record, with an average of 39 out of 58 ODI games with a modest knockdown rate of 80. However, since he is a trusted player, and that he may experience an alarming fall of form, it will be on a short leash. summer.

Faced with Warner, Khawaja, Short and Lynn for a place of choice, I do not see how a 35-year-old man with a history of injuries would be the best option. Given its recent poor form against Pakistan, I thought it was a good time to eliminate it.

However, he seems to have more chances than many and remains a high clbad player.

Travis Head

Verdict – almost there.

I say "almost there" because Head was both consistent and adaptable and, at age 24, is a player with his best years ahead. He could easily play in the next three World Cups over 50, and you want some players on which you can build a team.

I was a little surprised that he was not appointed vice-captain, which probably means that his place is not secure enough in this intermediate order. An average of 37 out of 39 games with a strike rate of 91 is a good start for a career at ODI, and it can provide some practical effects and is considered good on the field. Maybe not as dynamic as other options, but a busy player with leadership credentials.

Glenn Maxwell

Verdict – who knows?

One would think that Maxwell would be certain of being on the plane for England, since he is probably the most destructive player in the country besides Lynn. Maxwell was a senior member of the 2015 team that won the World Cup and has experience worldwide in high pressure cricket.

However, he tends to fall in favor of wind changes, so he can not afford a bad pbad. His batting average of 32 is only moderate, however, he often beats at 5 or 6 and his strike rate of 121 is world clbad. The fact that he plays a little bit more for Victoria could help his cause – he will mostly need some shopping.

Marcus Stoinis

Verdict – probable.

Quietly, while Australia has been playing for the past two years in the medium to bad ODI cricket, Stoinis could claim to be the only player to have really gone out and demanded the selection. In 18 games, he scores an impressive average of 45 with the bat, with a strike rate of 101.

He has shown himself versatile in the order of the batters, ranging from number 3 to number 6. Also impressed by the fact that he played at different tempos with a mixture of raw power, but also of subtlety. His bowling was not particularly effective or impressive, with an average of 66 and a score of more than 6 points.

He outpaced the other versatile players, but he must maintain his rage because the size of the sample is reduced to 18 games.

Alex Carey

Verdict – almost there.

Carey is a fast growing player in the Australian cricket food chain. Promoted to the position of badistant co-captain on the side, it is clear that the selectors see him playing this role in the foreseeable future. Tim Paine is finished and dusted in this format and, although Matthew Wade remains a good white ball player, I do not see Australia coming back to him.

Carey has only a modest average on the A list, averaging 27, and her most notable performances have probably been won in the BBL. However, it offers a busy middle-clbad player the ability to play inventive shots at a reasonable pace. I do not think it's Gilchrist's second coming, far from it. However, I see him as an essential part of this team for a while, because of his character and the absence of any real threat.

Adam Zampa

Verdict – jury outside.

I thought the selectors might have left Zampa. However, Nathan Lyon's rest and his good form in JLT Cup give him a new chance to impress. Although he played 31 games for Australia, he has never seemed particularly comfortable to be the first choice player and has often been left out if the conditions were considered inappropriate.

For mine, it does not offer enough mystery or variation and is rather a defensive pitcher, and I do not think that this can be the case for a player of first choice. It does not offer as many needles or agar as Hagar. In my opinion, he would need a separate series here to fall back completely into the frame.

Ashton Agar

Verdict – jury outside.

On the domestic front, Agar is probably one of the most improved cricketers in the country in the last twelve months. However, he seems to have always been on the periphery of international teams in all formats and failed to get into the race. I think his bowling has made a lot of noise lately, with better control and variations than one would expect from a spinner from the left arm.

I like him as number 8 because he seems to have an awareness of the match and has a cool head under pressure. Only modest numbers, with an average of more than 50 with the ball through nine ODI, and will have to improve these statistics if he wants to get a place in the plane for England.

Mitchell Starc

Verdict – certainly.

I would say this is a certainty, but there is still some doubt that Australia will deploy the Big Three in all three formats. Given the importance of a World Cup over 50, you expect Starc to be a certainty, however, he has been far from his best right now.

Its 141 wickets at age 20 are an impressive record, with a savings rate of less than 5. We can quickly forget that Starc was a determining factor in the triumph of Australia in 2015 during the World Cup final that he dominated against the Kiwis.

Josh Hazlewood

Verdict – certainly.

Hazlewood has just progressed in the rank order with his promotion to Vice Captain. His bowling should be adapted to English conditions, and he is normally quite resilient despite a recent injury. Hazlewood has an impressive 50 more goals for Australia, with 69 wickets 42 games at an average of 24 and a save rate of 4.72.

Pat Cummins

Verdict – probable.

Cummins has seen a dramatic turnaround in the last 12 to 18 months. No one doubted its quality, but many doubted its durability after nearly five years spent in the desert with injuries. Given that it plays a huge role in the test camp, I think there is a chance that it is "managed" and does not play one of the white ball formats in the near future.

However, the World Cup is the biggest step and, at its best, I think it is the fastest and most threatening of Australia. At an impressive typing rate, however, he concedes 5.38 points per 39, which may explain less badurance than Starc and Hazlewood.

Nathan Coulter-Nile

Verdict – Jury Out.

Coulter-Nile has long been a project actor, for what seems like an eternity. However, he has had a lot of injuries in recent years. The fact that he usurped the five quick tours that toured England during this recent 5-0 nightmare tour (Stanlake, Tye, Kane and Jhye Richardson and Neser) shows that Australian selectors did not give up.

He has decent statistics with 37 wickets of 21 ODI at an economic rate of return of 5.3, but at age 31 he can no longer afford setbacks and needs an exceptional summer.
