you're spot on.
its the best Australian team that can be put on the park. not necessarily a team being rebuilt.....everyones 30+ except smith
its a team for 2 years, not generational supremacy.......but i'll take it
please no wade.....he's in bairstows class as a gloveman, gime pain any day (so to speak)
Paine has had precious little cricket the last few years, he's only just started to play a full season after a near career-ending finger injury, several operations before he got it right. I thought he played well the Tests he was in, but due to that injury he hasn't had a decent go at it since. Solid gloveman, not as dynamic with the bat as Wade, and we all know that pure glove work isn't enough these days. Chris Hartley of Queensland may be another, the Lehmann link with the Bulls could work in his favour.
Chris Lynn is a good prospect, a decent enough start to his FC career, averaging mid-40s, a really brutal striker of the ball and wouldn't be surprised if he got a look in the ODI side soon. Jordan Silk (Tas) has three first-class centuries in just 11 matches, technically correct right handed opener who can play long innings. Another name not many would've heard of is Cameron Bancroft of WA, only 21 but seen him bat a few times and is a neat player. For the 2015 Ashes it is highly likely there could be 4-5 changes from the Aussie XI for this series, so guys will be looked at, and hopefully some can stack up big numbers in the Shield and stake a claim.
