Ian Chappell- (IMO) an underrated batsman, great slip fielder and good leader. Chappelli will happily play under Miller's leadership.

[AldoRaine18]

Quite happy to bring in Langer. Individually a solid and reliable opener with a touch of class, but getting him back opening with Hayden with Punter walking in at one down is a big plus for the team. One of the best top orders the game has seen, and the opening pair speaks for itself.

The Home of CricketArchive

The pair averages the highest (71) for the first wicket than any other opening pair with 2300 runs or more.
