Want to ask peoples opinions on something before I do the next one Whats the most amount of openers you'd put into a TOTW I mean like obviously the minimum you have to have is 2. You could get away with 3 easy putting one at 3. But after that where would you stop. Would you put openers at 1,2,3 and 4. 1,2,3,4 and 5? Im just doing my shortlists and im not sure yet
I would say generally 3 is as far as you should go. However, if 4 opener were to mammoth games and there were only a couple of middle order bats that did anything of note I don't think you should rule out an opener. This would be a seriously rare event though.
I think you could stretch to 4 but only in the case where the 4th best opener >> 3rd best middle order bat.
