Looking OK against Clarke & Hauritz, thought he could get out any ball against Johnson & Siddle though.

Can't really tell so far, I just got up.

I reckon for the Sydney line-up, replace McKenzie with Duminy with Prince getting his position back.

Has Duminy had any experiance opening looks like such a natural middle order player to me?

I remember they used him as opener for quite a few matches (not sure whether ODI or test). I can't remember him having any success in that position though.

Still not sure whether to bank on McKenzie retaining. He's seemed pretty non-committal, but maybe I'm still reeling after that drop. :p

I'm pretty Sure AB can be an opener. Although I don't think SA will want to move him around the order with the form he is in

They've also suggested, so far, when Prince comes back:

Amla opens (McKenzie goes, everybody comes up one).

AB opens.

Duh forgot about AB.

Suprised at McKenzies fall from garce this series watching him against England & India would have thought he would have done well.

Nah, I'd have Amla opening if Prince comes back, AB is more of a hand-eye player for mine, not as technically proficient is Amla IMO

You and me both, thought the extra bounce might suit him, especially as he's a good puller & cutter

Unless Ive messed up somehow Amla has never opened at test Level.

AB has in 20 matches with a good average of 36.

Can't really blame Harris for trying to cash in against the part timers couldn't see him lasting long against the new ball to be honest.
