Wouldn't hurt to find some bowlers who swing the ball. That's why we failed to get through their top order. Raw speed plays very little part in T20 cricket, especially when you are such flat decks, it just makes batting easier as it hits the bat harder.
I was just having a similar discussion over the weekend as a mate and I discussed Dennis Lillee.
30 years ago, you had a sore back and went back to your mark, today you have stress fractures and miss 6 months.
Broken finger lay offs get me though, come on!

I also think Cricket Australia share the same point of view. You wouldn't rest half your squad and send them off early to prepare for the NZ ODI’s if you genuinely wanted to win at all costs! Even Trav might not have been picked in front of Usman (Great he did for the experience).
The T20 world cup squad won’t feature 3 quarters of the players that played last night!
wouldn't mind seeing the Aussies send an under 23 team and give the kids international exposure!

Dennis Lillee missed the entire 1973-74 season with stress fractures of the back.
Bomber Hammond was never able to bowl quickly again after suffering a back injury in that same season.

The problem is the difference between Tait's best and worst bowling is light-years apart. There have been plenty worse though that have represented our country and bowling in a T20 wouldn't be the most flattering job, especially against India.

Tye bowled one bad over. Tait bowled four.
