Head is so overrated, literally one good three-match run of form (and even then nobody really gave a shower about the 2 x 50s so he's basically in on one game) but was crap in every other bbl game and in the India game. Shouldn't be in the side.
You're joking right? One doesn't become captain at age 21 by chance. He was good throughout the big bash, and an average of 30 over his t20 career really isn't that bad. Should he be in the test/ODI team yet? No. Should he be in the t20 team? Maybe. He's in the best 10 t20 bats in the country atm imo. Also handy with the ball, but not really good enough to be an all rounder.

No

16, 22, 11, 25, 0 (final), then 2 against India...real spectacular form.

Top 10 Aussie t20 batsmen sure, but only 6/7 can make the team for a match remember. The Marshes and Khawaja are far more deserving.

So 7 bats in the team including Wade. I'd rather him than SMarsh, but Khawaja and maybe MMarsh should be in the team instead of him. He's not really that overrated though.

Also, I don't see a score over 20 as bad in t20. It's not outstanding, but it really isn't that bad.

Head made 200 in 3 Innings of T20 cricket.
Backing up his ton with a 50* and another 50 after that, what more can the bloke do?
If you're going on BBL form, Watto made a fair few scores under 10, including 8 in the final

Head is absolutely good enough to be in our T20 team. Will certainly be representing Aus in other forms in the future too.

Lets not forget his Matador Cup 8) That double ton to chase down the Warriors ridiculous total.

Rain in Melbourne, chicks are off the field.

Bancroft called up for third T20 for Wade
