How are players like Shaffiq and Khawaja affected by opening the batting when they are listed as middle order batsmen by CPL, but arguably are more akin to opening?
Awesomes. Also Joubert is listed as a lower order batsmen even though he bats at #3 for the Titans, at least in the 1st innings. I'm not sure what my question is here, merely just to point out that Joubert is too rubbish to bat at 3 in real life.
Haha he's batted 7 or 8 for the vast majority of his career tbh; dunno why he batted 3 in the last couple of games tbh. http://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/4/4026/First-Class_Matches.html Go up from the bottom (ignoring the very last two ) and you'll see.
I'd like to know the same but in reverse. Watson's listed as an opener. Will that adversely affect him if I bat him at 4.
