Didn't we try something like that years back? I think it was a test match and they more or less reversed the order to protect the batsman on a green wicket batting first. Maybe it was a domestic game, can't remember the details.How bout have both of them opening?

For the moment though a healthy average of 48.57 in 8 innings as opener so far in this world cup could warrent him staying there.Vettori.
Seriously - someone's gotta get Fleming the opener out, haven't they? It's pretty silly the number of runs he's scored as an opener anyway.
I'd love to see McMillan moved up 4 places, but other than that - perfect!How bout have both of them opening?

We sent Kyle Mills in at #3 in a Test match against South Africa to take the shine of the new ball, unfortunately it only lasted a couple of balls. Vettori has batted right up the order in a Test match as well against Zimbabwe, I think he may have scored a century.Didn't we try something like that years back?

McMillan is perfect at the position,,, no need to him to make him go up by 4 places. The moment he sees spinner he likes to hit for six in the opening over. And this caused his downfall in more than two instances in this WC. So why risk him to go up by 4 places, he can play fast better and let him play at the position where he isI'd love to see McMillan moved up 4 places, but other than that - perfect!
Mind, I don't like seeing Patel in there. Mason any day of ' week.
What's the bet Bracken gets him (again) tonight, followed by Fleming in the semis.
The poor guy who would get a game for every one day side in the world?Bet.. Fleming will not give his wicket to that poor guy Bracken...

McMillan can do an excellent job at three in the twilight of his career IMO.McMillan is perfect at the position,,, no need to him to make him go up by 4 places.

Did you see yesterday..how he fared at in the early in a innings...so he is not good at the topMcMillan can do an excellent job at three in the twilight of his career IMO.
Bracken is a poor guy and could nt snap Fleming wicket ......oooo...won the battleAha, OK.
Should just leave it and get bowled, it'd buck the trend at least.
