Who would he replace?
I don't give a stuff about red vs white ball cricket primarily because people lump T20 in with ODI, I think the difference between ODI and Test is greatly overstated and all the genuinely likely candidates can bat 50 overs in either version which is nearly a ton up!
Bancroft, Head and Paine are lucky to still be in the squad as far as I am concerned. I suspect Paine will continue to get the nod regardless of form because of ACB desires to build an image and not much else.
While I wasn't a fan of Khawaja in the ODI, I'm for him in the test arena as long as he bats reliably, I don't care about his run rate. I think we need him and Smith to anchor the innings.
