Surely Handscomb or Finch would get a game ahead of Christian
you'd think Finch surely would play, with the idea he is a slim chance to get picked for the Test team if he preforms,
Handscomb, is young & should be played ahead of christian at least, but doubt full.
it still puzzles me why Victoria even game Christian a contract.:(

Actually, given they're drafting in extra players for the WA XI match against England, as well as the A game, I doubt Handscomb or Finch will miss that much first class cricket.

Christian will play Shield from the start, even if we don't think he's good enough.
 
He almost definitely won't make the full strength side and may not even make the side once the test players are out.

Rogers
Quiney
Maxwell (according to reports)
White
Hussey
Wade
Christian
Hastings
Siddle
Holland/McKay
Ahmed

That means that both Finch and Handscomb miss out. It'd probably take White (or Wade) to be called up for Handscomb to get a game, given Finch will replace Rogers when he goes for test duty.

That's who Handscomb replaces
 
So the first side for the season named

Rogers, Quiney, Handscomb, White, Hussey, Wade, Christian, Hastings, Siddle, Boland, Ahmed/Holland

Finch, Maxwell, McKay still in India

Be interesting to see if they try Christian up the order after the success in the Ryobi, maybe throw him at 3 and Handscomb down the order, although I remember White batting at 3 last year, cant remember if he was still there when he found form late?
 
With Christian in the side they may play both spinners (may also be instructed by CA to do so, given that they're both high up in the selectors thinking). I'd say Boland misses out from that lot, although will depend on the pitch.

With Maxwell in the Aus A side, that relieves the Victorian selectors of one head ache but does Finch play? I can't see them fitting him in, Handscomb was terrific last game.

Rogers
Quiney
Handscomb
White
Wade
Hussey
Christian
Hastings
Siddle
Boland
Ahmed
 
With Finch away with the NSW 2nd XI I imagine Maxwell will come straight in for him with McKay replacing Siddle and Christian probably remaining in the squad

Yep, they would have had a bit of a head ache if Finch were available. Finch probably doesn't really deserve to be their but I think Cricket Australia and Victoria are just hoping he'll show something in the longer form of the game.

No doubt CA would want Finch to be played as they took him to South Africa in the Aus A side and with his form in the short form for australia improving probably want to give him another crack at the red ball stuff.

Would have been tough this week to give him a game but with Rogers on test duty now i can see him taking Rogers spot at the top of the order.
