There's better openers than McIntosh running round domestic cricket atm.Yeah we could probably take the 8th in line from Australia/England/South Africa/India and still completely have a better opener than McIntosh

Cumming/How/PingaThere's better openers than McIntosh running round domestic cricket atm.
Wilson? I like him, not sure he'll be test quality though.Cumming/How/Pinga
Wilson/Watling pending
The guy who was stepping away to leg against Bond because he was afraid of the pace?Wilson
Ha he did it like once. Its not a regular occurrance, otherwise when I listen to domestic cricket (which despite what it looks atm I do quite often ) the commentators would be taking the piss outa him.The guy who was stepping away to leg against Bond because he was afraid of the pace?
Scoring runs. List A only at this stage though.Why does everyone seem to like BJ Watling for ?
Fair enough if his name gets brought up for ODI contention, but he hasn't done anything to be considered for the test team.Scoring runs. List A only at this stage though.
Yeah at this stage I think everyone is just hoping his List A form carries over to FC eventualy like Guptills did.Fair enough if his name gets brought up for ODI contention, but he hasn't done anything to be considered for the test team.
Yes,.Of course you do, along with Rob Nicol eh?
.
I never mentioned McIntosh.Ha he did it like once. Its not a regular occurrance, otherwise when I listen to domestic cricket (which despite what it looks atm I do quite often ) the commentators would be taking the piss outa him.
Plus McIntosh comfortable against pace? "Oh **** a bouncer, where is it? I know, I'll play a half arsed pull shot and hope it works."
McIntosh does deserve at least the series though, he did score a lucky hundred after all.
Ignoring the obvious problems that opening the batting with an inexperienced middle order batsman actually bring, your reserve #3 batsman at the moment, according to the selectors, is.... Jamie How.Why don't we just open with Flynn if McIntosh fails ?
Who is this?Pinga
Yeah most probably. I'm not a huge Jamie How fan atm and would like to see Broom/Pinga come in ahead of him. When does Myburgh get residency ?Ignoring the obvious problems that opening the batting with an inexperienced middle order batsman actually bring, your reserve #3 batsman at the moment, according to the selectors, is.... Jamie How.
It's not like you have an abundance of middle order batsmen at the moment either. The selectors have actually identified an opener as your next best batsman overall so I dare say it'll be How that opens if McIntosh fails.
Peter Ingram. opener for Central Districts. And former teacher of Flem274 IIRC,Who is this?
I dont think now is a good time to try it. If he can do well over the next few years and no-one else steps up, then he seemed suited IMO. But its by no means a perfect answer.Why don't we just open with Flynn if McIntosh fails ?

I'm aware of all that.Broom
Hay
Fulton
Myburgh
Williamson (if he was 23 he'd be in the squad with his record)
Sinclair
They're the only likely test class middle order bats not in the squad. If Kitchensink keeps scoring rapid hundreds he might join that list.
Huge time for Jamie How now.
On Pinga: He's a slightly better (and consistent) McIntosh if I'm honest, but if McIntosh is allowed a test century then its only fair Pinga gets one, just one is all I ask.
