****, why the hell am I batting 7. When the **** will I get a chance to actually show myself in the position I'm meant to play - Middle Order. Out of all the bloody 5 Middle Order Batsmen, I'm the one who get's ****ed over.
Jimmy's team has a very good bowling attack for this but I'm not liking that epically long tail with Jimmy at 7 and 4 straight out bowlers. Manero and Dave will have to carry them.
In all honesty, I'd be happy for you to open. I think Rob thought for the sake of the team, I needed to be out on the crease for as long as possible.
TBH you may be better suited to 3, I started out as an opener and have naturally gravitated to 3, it doesn't matter ITBT It doesn't effect your performance as such.
I totally agree, I was hoping you were put at opener or at 5 but definitely not 3. And I dunno why Manera is opening when he will be at 3 all season for us. I think it was just the Manstrong combo Cribb felt the need to put out. Not a whole lot of difference really, I'd rather you at 3 :P
