Message: [QUOTE="The True King, post: 3205687, member: 9651"] Langer himself debuted in test cricket at #6 before moving up the order. From memory, Puco didn't open when he first hit the FC scene - I think he batted at 3 or 4. Handscomb now bats at 3 for Vic so it's not as if he's got any test future, Puco could have easily stayed at first drop. Another example is Renshaw who most would consider an out and out opener, yet he now bats at #5 for QLD. What's the logic there, have CA blessed that? If there have been conversations about future test spots it makes the decision to move Wade to open even stranger. He basically earned his test recall on the back of piling up runs at #6 in shield then earlier in FC this season he batted at 3 (fair enough as the best bat in the TAS line up). Why hang him out to dry opening for one test if they're going to drop him back to FC where he will inevitably bat in the middle order? I don't think there's any set rule. [/QUOTE]
