Phlegm does well with the bat when he doesn't keep well, and does well keeping when he does shit with the bank. I wonder what this means :ninja:
He's not actually a wicket keeper. We don't have one; he just dons the gloves. He's actually kept fucking amazingly so far this season though.
I don't see how it makes no sense. The only real arguement I see for it not being a good move having your WK opening in FC cricket is because they may have just spent 2 days keeping and to then send them out to bat very shortly afterwards again would make them tired. However, in terms of mental attributes I think WK being openers would make a lot of sense. A WK needs a lot of focus and patience, as does an opener.
Just seems strange to have a bloke with the gloves out there keeping for god knows how many hours and then ask him to open.
Was thinking this, but assumed he'd read the whole thread when he posted about Ari, so it seemed like a delayed reaction.
