When you’ve got a ODI chase on your hands, shouldn’t you use your ODI openers to open?

Having posed the question I’m going to say that I think we’re better off running with our regular line up. If we were going to get this total we needed our grafters to hustle a solid platform for our hitters to attack from, not a massive platform built by our hitters for our grafters to squander.

Good question.
They should have opened with Cult Hero and Prince B; and left Timmy Mac and Flynn down the order as insurance.
Look what’s happened. Timmy M didn’t know how to play and got out. And then How thought he needed to lift the rate and become Ryder for a bit.
And played one shot too many.
So now we’ve got 2 of the 3 big hitters in, with the 3rd next in.
And not a lot of cover after that,

This next half hour is where it’s at. Your boys are in the driving seat.

Note how Edwards is being held back until it’s dark.
That will be interesting.
