Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[ElwoodBlues1]

I like Paine,  solid cricketer but if his hand is no good,  Carey plays.

As for captain,  no idea.  None of the bats deserve it,  they've got enough crap to deal with.  Maybe Lyon, as senior player and established senior player,  fields close enough to bowlers to speak to them.

I prefer Carey as a batsman as I have said before , has that DeKock ability to win change and win games...as you say Paine is solid cricketer but I dont see opposition teams putting too much time into him as a batsman. I know you should pick keepers on keeping ability first but given our batting lineup is rubbish we need the extra batting depth IMO.

Lyon as captain isnt such a bad idea given the choices, at least he perform most games with the ball and shows some fight with the bat...........I'd be looking at Starc's position too...maybe gets one more game to perform.....
