I was hoping we'd seen the last of this bloke and the selection issues swirling around him like a tornado.

Starc has continued to stink it up at the IPL.

Something has to give regarding selections for Australia or we'll end up like West Coast.

Not Test cricket I know but Jake Fraser-McGurk who has been dominating in the IPL has been excluded from the t20 WC squad in favour of David Warner who hasnt been able to make a run, he is now 37 and looking to only fill his pockets with short format league money. I know who I would be picking but it appears the boys club selection policy is alive and well still and its hurting Aus cricket moving forward imo with no junior talent being blooded. All this after the Steve Smith test opening failure/fiasco as well...

I'd be tempted to play Zac Williams on a wing, rather than Ollie Hollands. Ollie is struggling and needs to time in the VFL to regain form and confidence.
Cincotta can play tight, he can even play midfield, which I didn't expect to see. he has real depth on his kicks as well.

How about Cincotta into the backline and Zac goes half forward?

Agree on Cincotta, thought ZW might go ok on the wing vs a very out of form Sidebottom, maybe the coach could challenge him with N.Daicos who plays off half back to shut him down..

I dont enjoy potting our players but he was very ordinary. Lets see how he responds.

Must play this week. Example needs to be made...three weeks of poor defending is two weeks too many.

Voss or Cook need to respond to that.

Why hasn't Cincotta been playing in the 2s?

Sounds like a plan we have so many players that are a liability at this moment and he is one huge culprit. He's only switched on when he feels like it. Must be laughing at us taking $4m over six years...another two years to go with Zac this is turning into a nightmare - we are paying him too much to play VFL. We are stuck with him...
