Here I go,
My opinion on Australian cricket squad for this world cup.
Defending Champion, To be honest, I never expect this team to reach final in the last year edition but they Faught as the unit and showed how reckoning team they are.
Yes to be fine and honest they did not have the great series before the world cup but the preparation helped them.
The Squad for this World Cup,
Aaron Finch (C)
David Warner
Mitchell Marsh
Steve Smith
Matthew Wade
Glenn Maxwell
Josh inglis
Marcus Stoinis
Tim David
Kane Richardson
Mitchell Starc
Pat Cummins
Ashton Agar
Josh Hazlewood
Adam Zampa
Major Benefits
Most of the bowlers can bat decently,
except josh hazlewood and zampa others are descent in their batting which is the major missing other squads and Fast bowling all rounders are plenty of three named mitchell marsh, stoinis and tim david but they are batting all rounders all three cannot play in this squad.
The major disadvantages is they are heavily depends on the Wade as a batsman, Now adays in T 20 cricket wk batsman are more likely to see as a batsman which he could not perform well that's will be an big issue to cover. Their back up wk is josh inglis which have a international experience of 9 T20 matches with an strike rate of 141 but this may not be a big as it is their home town.
They have superstars in their bowling but hazlewood will be the key for their bowling department to success than cummins and starc. Because he is gonna bowl one or two overs in the middle which could be the turning point.
As form of the players is concern, their captain Finch is in good form, Warner who was the man of the series of last T20 world cup is in good nick. Marsh is an x factor player for them and smith is the big foil for them, Stoinis creates the balance and tim david for his explosives.
I would look to see adam zampa a match up against the high quality players like virat and Kl Rahul etc when they meet up each other.
My playing 11
1. Warner
2. Finch
3. Steve Smith
4. Wade
5. Mitch Marsh
6. Tim David
7. Ashton Agar
8. Pat Cummins
9. Mitch Starc
10. Adam Zampa
11. Josh Hazlewood.
It was tough to leave player like stoinis but I just want no 6 player purely on numbers and player like tim david has great hitting ability.
With this squad the left right comination can be easily maintained through out the match.
I defenitely see this team who can sit comfortably on top 4, need that luck to get into finals.
Thank you
