For some strange reason I have developed some blind faith which indicates that we will win today.

Birthday boy better earn his paycheck so to speak. Our batting has really let us down we need to get runs from somewhere. With not much else to choose from, we might as well go in with the same team. After all the captain did say they will stick to the same guys. We need Taylor, Raza to provide some runs. And I'm not a big fan of Cremer coming in before Waller. On his day Waller can provide good runs at the back end. Sad thing is those days are few and far between. Moor must be really testing the selectors patience wonder how long they will stick to him.

I still think Moor has a lot to offer, but he has to bat in the right position. What's the point in sending one of the few blokes who can clear the ropes behind a more technically correct player like Ryan Burl? Get Moor at 3, give him the license and make sure we keep the tempo going. Mire and Hammie both gave us a half decent start in the last game, but the momentum was completely sucked out of when Taylor came in.

Chisoro has got to play. Why would we play three seamers on a deck which is clearly taking spin. We saw it yesterday that the more pace on the ball the easier it is

I would stick with Taylor at 3, he is one of the best bats we have and in a short game you want to give your best as many overs as possible.

Yes actually, Taylor at number 3, but I want to see Moor above Ryan Burl.

Ryan Burl is clearly a more technically correct player but Moor is categorically more dangerous.
