Marcus Stoinis

How good has Marcus Stoinis been in his ODI career so far. If Australia had have been on a win streak instead of a losing streak, this man would be considered the find of the last couple of years. He looks seriously good at the crease, offers a few overs of useful part time rubbish that gets wickets and is averaging 66 at 107. Incredible.

It's so hard to believe a team could have a new player averaging north of 60 at over a run a ball and still be on the worst losing streak in living memory.

And his 146 at Eden Park is one of the best innings I've ever seen in a losing cause.

It was flat out the best all round performance I've ever seen in an ODI. He was our best bowler with 3/not many and then made that 146. It was incredible.

Talented player, someone I'd play up the order instead of the aging past his best Cameron White.

Then you could play Maxwell & Faulkner down the order, assuming Faulkner gets into decent nick.

He was actually a specialist opening batsman at the start of his domestic career in WA, but didn't get a lot of games.

544 runs in 13 matches at an average of 62.88 - to do that at a SR of over 100 and usually lower down the order in a poor side (only played in two wins to date) is a top-class effort.

If he keeps up this rate he'll comfortably break the Australian record of fewest innings to reach 1000 ODI runs.
