No Watson or Bailey? The latter just tonned up for Sussex in the Royal London One Day Cup.

Him being rubbish would be a good reason.
The fact that he was picked means he's still on the radar.

I think picking Nevill to keep would be the logical thing if only to try and help him with the transition.
4 years until the next world cup. We are on the hunt big time for cricketers to fill the test side. This should come into consideration when selecting the ODI squad. I'd be inclined to pick a squad something along the lines of this. Voges, Clarke, Bailey, Doherty, Haddin, Johnson and Watson more than likely aren't going to be around for the next ICC World Cup or Ashes series and playing them doesn't really help us find up and coming international cricketers.
Warner
Nevill
Smith
Maxwell
Stoinis
Lynn
Khawaja
S Marsh
M Marsh
Ferguson
Agar
Zampa
Pattinson
Cummings
Sandhu
Handscomb
Starc
Hazelwood
Byrnes
Abbott
Faulkner
Finch
Obviously this needs trimming but these players should all be playing at least some international cricket in the next coming years.

All those bowlers and no love for the Dorfmeister or NCN? Oh well, WA can use them.

Given that he sucks in the OD format means it's illogical.

It isn't a bad thing to have Nevill in the test team and Wade in the ODI team IMO. It means Nevill will get to play more first class stuff and be fresher for test cricket.

Would Nevill even be in NSW's first ODD XI as of last season?
Watson
Warner
Smith
Clarke
Maddinson
Henriques

Starc
Sandhu
Lyon
Hazlewood
Even this season you'd have Carters instead of Clarke and Nevill only gets in because Haddin retired. Wade is clearly a much better choice.

I've heard it on good authority that Marcus Stoinis will be appearing in the ODI squad for the England series. Deserved call up and with a strong eye for fresh blood.
Don't know why.
47 ODIs, average of 22 with a strike rate of 70 is hardly a good record, and it's not as if he's even a decent wicket keeper.

Stoinis? Would rather have Handscomb or Lynn or pretty much anyone else.
Interesting - I would imagine he is seen as the direct replacement for Faulkner then in the line-up

Nowhere near the bowler that Faulkner is.
Bailey deserges a chance this series to see if he can play the Voges role in the OD side. Going to be full of youth an inconsistency we could use someone who already averages 40+.
He was in poor form coming into the world cup but he scored 50 in his last ODI innings before Clarke came back and seems in good touch at the moment.

Totally agree, but I can see the selectors plonking M.Marsh / Stoinis into that role despite neither of them being anywhere near Faulkner as an ODI bowler.
Since T20 cricket has come along the selectors have taken a deliberate path towards strengthening the batting line-up with having genuine batsman / legitimate allrounders batting down to 8 or even 9 in the order. They seem quite happy to compromise an extra 10 - 20 runs conceded in the bowling lineup if it adds strength to the batting which gives further license to the top order to attack from the start.
Given that this strategy won the 2015 WC, I can anticipate the selectors will continue developing the side & squad along this path of thinking for the 2019 WC in England. Essentially, planning for that tournament starts now which is why the squad is probably going to have Warner as the most experienced player in it (assuming Watson isn't picked - which would be a gutsy, but probably correct call).

Is Stoinis even in the A squad for the one dayers?
I get that Faulkner's out but wouldn't they just use that to bring in Mitch Marsh or Cummins?
Wouldn't Watson play that role in the ODI side?

Would prefer M. Marsh played to give him more international exposure, especially given they've royally stuffed him around on this tour. He's been more effective in ODI cricket so far anyway. The only reason for playing Watson (only relevant in the summer ODIs) would be if they want Marsh to play Shield cricket later in the year.

From the World Cup team I guess Clarke out and Marsh in.
It might work for the England ODIs (no Faulkner) but I don't like the idea of Watson, Faulkner and M. Marsh in the same team. Need to focus on some pure batsman.
The same could have been said for the NSW FC team....

Khawaja, Sandhu and Ferguson wondering what they have to do to get a game. Cummins gets a game by doing nothing yet again. I'd love to be Pat Cummins.. you dont even have to play cricket to get a contract or a squad gig.
On the money - squad announced. Khawaja stiff to miss, but Bailey has been retained which I didn't pick earlier. Watson still there as well and Finch isn't fit yet. Thought they might have squeezed one more into the squad, but maybe Boyce will be retained after the T20 game if he bowls ok.
