Well I agree that it pushes me up the list a bit. Both Manera and Armstrong performed reasonably well last season though so it remains to be seen imo.
1.DG Speirs 2. DT Petrucci 3. JP Thornton 4. AJ Parker 5. JB Dempsey 6. DA Alessi 7. JM Hughes Looks gun, doesn't it?
Not if Thornton and Speirs perform like last season. You could either be pushing Flash for that place or if Ged continues declining then there's a option of Speirs playing as 5th bowler too and shortening the long tail. With Keggy potentially out and declining anyway, there's less competition for you the coming season and you played BS in the last one.
Didn't consider that at all. Keep thinking we're all openers and not "top order". Yeah, will be playing BS then.
