One day squad..No Maxwell????

[Professer E]

Can't agree more EB.... Warner should  be the short form captain.  Smith should be taken aside and told to concentrate on test cricket - like Clarke before him his batting really isn't that suited to the short format (he normally plays himself in) and his captaincy is far to reactive and conservative.

The prediliction with pace bowling works at test level but taking the pace from the ball is the go when the hitters start swing... we seem to be looking for a new generation of allrounders with the shelving of Faulkner etc and the selectors seem loathe to fiddle with Lyon now that he is a serious threat at test level.  The side really is in transition ATM.

Poms have a swag of decent seamers and two spinners (plus Root) who can swing the bat hard in the allrounder mode - we  fall short in that area although Stonis, Marsh and Maxwell can do roles.

As for specialist one day bats, I can think of Finch, Lynn, Head - after that the well kind of dries up as opposed to Roy, Hale etc.

Zampa needs to start taking wickets as you can't carry specialist bowlers who are ineffective and can't bat... maybe Ahmed or Agar could get a gig instead.
