Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3583385, member: 9052"] Just saw an interview with George Baily on Fox openly talking about Smith moving to the top, so it all looks pretty set to happen at this point. Amazing how quickly everything has changed for Smith to emerge as the new opener moving forward. I'm pretty excited to see Smith move to the top as it just seems to provide the best balance across the batting line up. I'm also excited to see Green in his preferred position of 4 as well. If Smudge succeeds at opener, which he very well could, then the Aust batting lineup would have to be in consideration as best in the world, especially in regards to how well balanced it is across the top 6 and how suited everyone would be to their role: - Uzzie arguably best opener in the world - Marnus arguably best no. 3 in the world (Kane Williamson in the conversation I'd assume??) - Head extremely well suited to the no. 5 role - Marsh perfectly suited to the no. 6 role - Green very well suited to no. 4 (possible weakness against spin, which a no. 4 is more exposed to) I'm thinking Smith could also move to the top for ODI's as well?? He's been pretty bloody effective in the BBL matches when he's opened and gets to play against the new ball... I can't see Smith opening in T20's, but the longer ODI format I could see him moving up.
