[ Poll ] Who should bat at 3 in Tests?

[eugene]

I could be happy with Taylor at 3 and Masakadza at 5.

What am I missing here. Surely your best batsman plays at 3. Any further down and BT could be left out to dry by potential collapses. Ponting played at 3 and anchoring innings. Just seems odd for him to come in lower. Obviously my opinion.

We seem to be only two who think BT should bat 3.

Hamilton
Chamu
Ervine
Taylor
Williams
Raza
Moor/Waller
Cremer
Chatara
Tiripano
Jarvis

This is a strong test team, Tiripano is very economical and a very decent batsman

Good team but who is keeping wicket? I reckon Ervine has made 3 his own. And he has delivered a few times so may as well let him play that role. I like the idea of 4 proper bowlers for the test side. At list not much burden on the part times. The bowler shld just do their job and the batsmen theirs. Its pointless picking a bowl on the basis that he bats a bit what then if he bowls badly, game is lost simple as that.

Well I think Moor to keep, if taylor is not keen on it, then waller would fall off, if taylor keeps then it is a shootout amongst waller, moor, musakanda and burl. so guess domestic form for these guys will be crucial.
