Well Wasim's an opener batting 3, but he was even worse when he was opening. I think they need to drop Wasim for van Zyl. Alternatively they could make Irfan open the batting and pick a 'proper' third seamer.
Mike Hussey hit 121 in the first innings, then Kaneria took 7/43 in the second. Zaheer bowled well in both innings. Does /cplsite not work on your phone?
If either of those ideas works, this is a joke. These guys are quality players being selected in their appropriate role. I'm backing them to succeed (other than Pathan with the ball, that is). van Zyl or Pathan opening should be insanity. This isn't OD cricket. Makes me so annoyed to see this line up fail so badly. Losing is one thing, but getting cremated is another thing. They'd be getting the hairdryer treatment now, that's for fucking sure. Bunch of useless overpaid cunts.
I wasn't suggesting van Zyl opening; I was suggesting him coming in for Wasim and batting 3, or perhaps pushing Kohli to 3. Pathan opening was just trolling tbh but he's averaging 50 and is basically selected on batting.
