Nah I've only ever opened. I've only played two games so it might be a bit harsh to say I "failed" as such, but I was so epically bad with bat and ball in both games that I think it's an apt description.

Berkuta did well on debut but pretty much nothing after that so he's probably under more pressure atm.

Speirs didn't really have the impact I'd have liked last season but I'm certainly happy with our four frontliners and Freddy as backup if one of them is injured.
Yeh was going to say Lewis has been batting lower down the order this year, could be a possibility but I didn't think you would be a fan. I know you hate the idea but surely you'd (Cribb) have just as good a case as Thornton and Armstrong if not stronger to be in the side. I don't hate the idea of Berkuta as such just think he's probably the only one struggling to make the side atm. It's the Gonzo hate which I can't understand, had an awesome season 8 for club and NSW.
It'd be great to see Immanuel get picked for the side cause he's a gun. Could de-rail his career some what if he was picked earlier then he should and he performed badly.
