Ebrahim's actually an opener who's sometimes been made to bat in the middle-order. IMO he's as poor in one position as the other. Not quite as bad as Sibanda, though.
Gavin Rennie should have been Grant Flower's opening partner for ages IMO. Gripper's OK, but not as good as Rennie. Never rated him as a OD player at all.

Gripper's too defensive to be a OD player. Ebrahim was a middle-order batsman in Domestic cricket but they felt his technique was good enough to open so when he was called up to the Test squad, he was given an opening berth.

She hit 70 odd against England having just turned 14... Has a technique to shame a lot of people in the mens game and is by far and away SA's best batswoman.. (although that isnt saying that much )

It doesnt really matter if its a grown ups game, if she is scoring runs, then playing at the top is going to improve her a lot more quickly.... anyway they need her..

And Rich fancies her.

In short, good one-day bowler, good in First-Class in some conditions.

I always admired his spirit.

I agree Gripper's too defensive to be a one-day player, exactly the same as Rennie.
Both could have made reasonable opening partners for Grant Flower if given the chance in the best way, though.
I always thought Ebrahim was an opener domestically too. Must have been mistaken. Anyway, I still don't think he's Test or ODI class, top or middle order.
