wouldnt ou have them 1 and 2 to see out the ball when its at its most dangerous, swinging around and quick?

unless of course your a trevor gripper or greg lamb type who can just wear the shine of the ball......

hey ...greg lamb at opener..... theres an idea.


gripper is a waste of space and lamb is not an opener

And yet you want Matsikenyeri in the team. I think Lamb should be given a shot at opening in domestic cricket and see how he does. We really don't know what his opening skills are.
