What about good ol' Hughes?

Feels a bit too slow for ODIs.

Shaun Marsh would be another player with strong claims to the new opening role with Aaron Finch.

If it is one of Shaun Marsh or Cameron White I will be happy.

For the UAE tour , Australia should pick Lyon and SOK , the only 2 test-class spinners. Cant fathom why mediocre bowlers like Doherty and Agar are picked over him.

Australian cricket fans left in the dark unable to watch cricket from England

Is this a real big deal for the AUS members on this forum?

It's certainly disappointing. Although during the winter period I am much more concerned about rugby, it's worrying to see broadcasters backing away from cricket.

A sides named for the winter matches. Nevill and SOK finally getting rewarded, probably the best selections we have done in a while now.

SOK should be in the test team, not in the A team.

In the absence of cricket in England not being broadcast on television it would be nice if someone took the initiative of streaming the matches online.

One step closer you would hope.

I'm not so sure I agree with Nevill only because I've always preferred Hartley, but I guess he'd be too old to start now. Whiteman has a great batting technique, if he can score some runs this shield season he may overtake Wade and Paine as next in line. It will be interesting to see how the team performs and how Faulkner goes as captain. He doesn't really hit me as the 'captain' type.

It was interesting to see Faulkner given captaincy responsibility, certainly haven't seen anything on the field that suggest "future captain" about him.

Paine

Yeah whatever happened to this guy? I remember first seeing him in the ODI's after the 2009 Ashes and he looked a decent batsman.

He has had plenty of injury troubles since bursting onto the international scene. He played his first full season in a long time this season and did okay, nothing to write home about. He has a good technique but has only scored one first class century ever and seems to have a big mouth - every season he comes out and says he should be the national wicketkeeper.

Yea he's missed the boat. Nev deserves his call up just like SOK he is the best performing keeper and looks like his keeping is more solid than Wade. He provides the good in between should Haddin retire shortly. Whiteman definitely looks to be the one for the future.
