Taylor to face first with Duffin at non-striker's end. brmtaylor.com it was allways going to be tricky to start with a poll for P3 instead of the openers. Had it happened this way then I'm quite confident that with Duffin well on his way to joining Taylor as the other opener (unless some form of rigging is involved), then Hamilton would have surely edged Williams to that P3 spot. So it wouldn't be bad to revise that poll after this on is concluded. Williams is ideal at P4. Vusi and Craig to follow. What I am rather shocked by is the omission of Gavin Ewing in most people's XIs judgin from the posts. I can assure that if that's the case then the selectors will have an impossible time trying to justify his exclusion. And few should be surprised if he's named captain of the team if they overlook Taibu again.

Re: Countdown to Test cricket: Opening the batting (tiebreak
another tie so far, maybe duffin and hamilton should open together if we can't make up our minds.Re: Countdown to Test cricket: Opening the batting (tiebreak
I haven't voted yet. I like that Masakadza is experienced, I like that his partnership with Taylor is a proven entity but Duffin opens for the Tuskers and Masakadza comes in a 3 in the Logan Cup. Hmmm, I need to think.
