[NZTailender]

I'm guessing E Smith is out of form?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Damien Martyn would be more suited to that role in the ODs.

 

[NZTailender]

Damien Martyn would be more suited to that role in the ODs.

Even so, he would be a better opening option than Hamish Marshall?

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Not sure exactly what you're getting at.
Why would Hamish Marshall be under scrutiny opening the batting? He scored runs in the pre-season there. And Damien Martyn would not be opening the batting anyway.
