Now that the ashes is over and australia have been put in there place , what does everyone think about our ODI team. Will we get smashed by a good Aussie side or could we pull something out of the bag?

[21wilsonj]

Is a team of Roy , Hales , Root , Morgan , Buttler , Stokes , Billings , Rashid , Willey , Finn , Wood or similar expected?

[Seniorplayer]

Those are the guys that will play and following winning the Ashes I bet they cannot wait to show what they can do
I am actually staring to feel sorry for the the Aussies

I like Roy but I'd like to see the following:

1:Hales
2:Root
3:Taylor
4:Morgan
5:Buttler
6:Stokes
7:Billings
8:Rashid
9:Willey
10:Wood
11:Finn

Just think Taylor has to play and that's the best way I can think to get him in

imo whilst root has opening experience he is better used at 3 so if taylor was going to play he would probably play 4

[21wilsonj]

also any ideas what the Aussie team will be like.
I heard that starc , johnson and hazelwood could be rested for the ODI's

I don't feel particularly strongly about it I just think Taylor deserves to be in there and the only person I could see making way is Roy, unless you drop Billings and move the order round even more but then you end up with Stokes/Buttler down at 7 which I think is too low!

[Buzz]

Roy, Moeen and Hales will be the top 3, not sure in what order.

I would imagine a few from the current Aussie A tour in India may get a go.

Hoping Joe Burns is involved.

so root at 4 or 5 and billings dropped with taylor not playing? also that would mean either buttler or stokes has to play at no 7 and with those two as two of our most important young prospects 7 is no place for either of them.

[JB]

Stokes has to be given his chance at number 3. The damage that he can do is too valuable to waste down the order in limited overs cricket

whilst stokes would definitely do damage at 3 , so would hales , moeen , root and buttler. stokes is an all rounder so wouldn't really bat 3.

[Sam]

Root scored nearly 300 runs at 3 in the NZ series, any thoughts of perhaps leaving him there?

yeah thats my personal opinion as he is amazing there and our best batsman.

[21wilsonj]

any thoughts on who should bat 7? Billings is the one of the only options as buttler would be wasted as well as stokes or morgan. who should play there?
