5 areas that Australia needs to work on

#5 Identifying primary all-rounders

New Zealand v Australia - 1st ODI — Australia should consider giving Stoinis a chance as all-rounder

The current Australian Test team doesn’t have any reliable all-rounders.

Mitchell Marsh was given a decent run but he wasn’t able to establish himself as a consistent batsman, nor was he able to maintain pressure with his bowling and get enough wickets. This was also the case with Glen Maxwell.

Marcus Stoinis has scored some big runs in the domestic circuit and his bowling can be deceptive and effective. He should be groomed and given the opportunity to perform in the Ashes. Playing in familiar home conditions will be an added benefit for Stoinis.

The Ashes will be followed by a series against South Africa, and Australia will have to play with its best possible team. Deciding early on its all-rounder and grooming him will make the Australians look solid and formidable.
