Agree with this totally.

Regardless of whether Hartley had been opening or not, I thought it should've been him, if he opened the batting or not. In ODI Cricket, your wicket-keeper needs to be a decent batsman.

Chris Hartley had never scored a one day half century before this season.

Kohli's a super talent (his century at the U19 world cup was one of the most polished I've seen from a guy that age) but the step up here is a bridge too far for him at this stage of his career. Can't be good for his confidence, hope we don't ruin him.

Which is what happens when you're batting at at eight and nine (and you're a bit rubbish...).

Fully aware of this, but he made his highest score, and then again in consecutive matches leading up to this opportunity. Would fully back him to score more runs than Manou.

A Bolly gone Aussieeeeeeeeeeee

Yeah, he has batted a lot down the order in the past. Doesn't cover up the fact that he has a strike rate of 58 though...

Haven't been able to listen to the games at all, when I've watched it I've been at the pub. But Kaspa always came across as a really good fellow, and has spent a lot of time mentoring young players who all speak really highly of him.

Yup very talented batsman.... This is bit of problem with Indian selectors picking batsman before they are ready...At least let these guys play couple of seasons of domestic cricket.

A lot will be up to how Hauritz bowls today.

Is Watson bowling today? I don't know if he was rested in the last game or if he's carrying an injury.

Haha Yuvi's mum. Can only imagine how he was as a young teenager.

Would wear sunglasses in the house no doubt.

I guess it comes down to a personal thing. Manou is hands down ha a better keeper than Hartley, but I'd back Hartley to score more runs, which in ODI Cricket is pretty important.

Either way, we're still gonna lose. (face)
