IMO all the batsmen who are performing should be simply moved up for Pakistan...

Put Umar at 1 down, Make Afridi Open with Butt the Yousuf then Alam and they YK and Kamran....

Thats the only thing i can suggest in current chaos that Pak is.

^ Nah

the pair of kamran and butt is very good.. lets give them more chances..they were both unfortunate during the last match.. they both got a tough one..I have to say.. opening is the only area that pakistan has improved in this tour..they weren't as good as Aus but still manage to give them a good start for the most matches..

Where is Ferguson? He seems to have disappeared since the England tour. Definitely a better prospect than Adam Voges.

What's people's thoughts of Warner at 7 in the ODI side? He'd provide some awesome big hitting at the end of the innings from the word go, something not everyone can do.

Who to replace though? I would move Haddin to opener, drop Marsh and replace with Warner at 7. I really like the idea, has been awesome for NSW playing this role.

Didn't even know he was playing there for NSW.

Not a huge fan of Haddin opening, or even Watson just for workload reasons. Think he'd be a gun 4 or 5 though.

Yeah he can definately do the job. Dan Christian is also there as is Steve Smith. Warner the best bat, Smith is the best bowl and Chistian is somewhere in the middle. Warner and Smith are also fantastic in the field (not sure about Christian).

Playing Christian or Smith would mean that you could lose a bowler (2 specialist quicks and Haurtiz). Warner would obviously come in at the cost of a batsman.

I actually think any of them would come in for a bat thus promoting Haddin. At full strength Johnson and Hauritz will be 8 and 9 anyway so I think a bit of hitting would strengthen the team as we bat low anyway.

Christian's a much better bowler than Smith at this point.
