One day squad..No Maxwell????

[LP]

As EB mentioned the Woakes type who can bowl and slog 20 or 30 is all the rage.  Coulter-Nile bowls slippery pace and can swing lustily might be worth a go, but I think his shoulder is bust ATM?  That's the kind of bowler you need to be thinking about for  modern ODI squads.

The days of  Malinga, Lee, Tait and the Pakis bowling screaming Yorkers and going through sides with 150 + km/hr stuff seems to be part of a previous era now - the rubbish is too easily put away and the edges and mis-hits go for boundaries.

I'm 100% in agreement.

I'm not claiming Starc wouldn't be effective when conditions suit, but conditions have to suit him and in most countries 8 out of 10 games don't suit him. For me the ODI Coutler-Niles and Stoinis types need more exposure and it should come at the expense of players like Smith, Marsh and Starc.

I read an article today in which Smith allegedly questioned England's tactics stating they may not hold up. But he's hardly in a position of strength to make such a sweeping statement. I suspect he's been coached to make a statement that is nothing more than deflection!
