You do you, but weird given Kallis was a lot better at 4 than 3 and Hammond/Lara were the opposite.Kallis

Reckon both Hammond and Lara are better down the order.
Lara's #3 average is boosted by a couple of massive knocks (which are very unlikely to happen against the Martians' A team), and I read somewhere that Hammond didn't like batting at 3. A Kallis at first drop is more secure to my mind (though if the openers last 30 overs absolutely put Hammond or Lara in - in AT sides batting orders should be fluid).You do you, but weird given Kallis was a lot better at 4 than 3 and Hammond/Lara were the opposite.
