I thought I could leave dippenaar for one more round after I got Joyce. Bugger. I don't know if I should open Joyce or bat at three either way it gives me some flexibility.
Exactly what I was thinking. I was seriously contemplating picking him this round but just couldn't bring myself to select a red nut.
Best opener I can remember playing test cricket for a country other than Australia was MSK Prasad. Brilliant. handy keeper too....
35, actually. And he's an opener who's home ground is the 'Gabba... My apologies if you're trying to undersell him.
I think we am going to have to just open with Sachin and get a #3. I have a few options for #3, and can't really think of any for opener.
I just realised that my turn would be coming up rapidly. I've got nfi who I'm gonna take. Even to the point of whetehr to just complete the side and take a keeper or just leave that pick to last.
There are a few openers off the top of my head who go ok, average 40 or so in FC cricket. Moving Tendulkar away from the middle order would be crazy IMO.
Agreed. Just pick someone who can take the shine off the new ball. They don't need a high average, just a defensive mindset.
