Gathering IPL form alone , isnt what Aussie selectors look at. Its a harsh call for JFM.

If the IPL is no real guide how can you assess JFM as one of the best T20 players in the World? He's done absolutely nothing in T20 cricket outside of the IPL. Average of 18 at a strike rate of 124 in the BBL.

Yep, he had to be selected along with Short...Don't agree with the Green & Agar picks.

JFM has almost single handedly turned the Delhi Capitals from perennial wooden spooners into finals contenders when he replaced Warner at the top of the batting order, yet Warner is selected over Jake - crazy stuff.
JFM and Travis Head should open - perfect left and right handed combination.

The backbone of this squad is the failed players from the T20 squad in 2022 on home soil.
If the Aussies dont make at least a Grand Final with this squad, George Bailey will come under fire as a selector.

Can see the argument for and against JFM. Setting the IPL alight, but it's small grounds and roads, and his home form is nothing special. That said, probably the kind of player I'd take a risk on. Personally think you can't carry Maxwell and Stoinis as both are at the end, I'd be leaving Stoinis out. Also think Warner and Wade are lucky to be there, with Short and Hardie probably the two who could take their spot.

And with Steve Smith not being selected, he should come out and say he retire from the T20 format and put all his focus on ODI/Test cricket to prolong his career. I cant see him turning around in 4 years time to be a member of the T20 format from a national perspective.

If we are basing the squad off past BBL form, how many of these actual players did perform or in some instances even rock up for at least a couple of BBL games- with the clash of national duties?
Warner- 2 games where he failed for the Thunder
David- underperformed with the Canes
Green- no games for Perth
Hazlewood- cant recall him playing too many games with his BBL team (think its Sixers)
Marsh- no games with Perth
Starc- think he had 1 game?
Stoinis- biggest underachiever in BBL last season
Wade- was injured for a fair few of games/suspended
Zampa- had a so so campaign
Agar-had a rather unimpressive campaign bar the 1 or 2 games on the spinner friendly wickets on the East in last years BBL.
Ellis/Head/Inglis/Maxwell- the players that didnt play in 2022, can all sort of justify their reason for being part of the squad. Dont know but it seems like a heavily 'old boys club' with the Australian cricket team. Never has that cliche rung louder.
Fear a bit for the Aussie bowling attack to be honest. Starc, Cummins, Green have been smashed from pillar to post in the IPL. Ellis hasnt bowled for almost 3 months. And its a bit scary to say that Stoinis is Australias most in-form bowler going into the T20 World Cup next month.

If a player had the following stats in T20 for their country would you say they deserve to play for their country in T20 cricket?
Last 3 years: Avg 42, SR 151
Last 2 years: Avg 39, SR 154
Last 12 months: Avg 51, SR 165.

A strike rate of 150-165 is par on Indian roads/UAE wickets.
Would be much impressive on Australian wickets/grounds. 170-180 score (which is around a strike rate of 141 to 150) is about par on most Australian grounds eg GABBA, Perth Stadiums, Bellerive, SCG, MCG , Marvels

Absolute joke Stoinis has got in over Short or JFM. Wade is lucky too imo, probably Green also in the T20 format

Gathering for most Aussie fans, if you have a full-time job from 8:30AM to 4:30 PM EST or even in WST, its most likely if your a cricket fantatic, it will be impossible to watch all the games?

Read from another forum that Amazon Prime are doing a 1 month free trial subscription. Not sure if the overlap of the World Cup is allowed.

Percentage of matches played in India/UAE by said player:
Last 3 years: 31%
Last 2 years: 0%
Last 12 months: 0%
Scores were waaaaaaay down in those UAE matches by the way.
stoinis is the most useless overrated cricketer in australia
the fact they chose a 35 year old who has done nothing for years over JFM is ridiculous
matthew wade is just as bad. hes 36 and hasnt gone past 50 in an I20 in 4 years, and you certainly cant say its his IPL form. if youre taking a backup keeper take a kid who might actually benefit from the experience.

Unfortunately , I dont have that option.
What Im noticing about that schedule if India pretty much get the prime time scheduling- understandable with those games beaming into the nights over there.

The one advantage of streaming is you just avoid results and watch from the beginning when you get home. I do it all the time with BBL, which starts 4.30pm here in the West. I get home, have dinner, get the kids to bed, then watch it in prime time.

Dont know but Im not a fan of delayed or watching things in replay.
Seriously considering giving up my full-time role in order to watch the biggest event in cricket in 2024.
