Message: [QUOTE="The True King, post: 3208996, member: 9651"] Big fan of Neser I'm just not sure weakening our batting for the sake of Neser is worth it. Granted Green is better than any #5 I can think of and I'm not against moving him up, I just don't think Paine is anywhere near good enough to bat 6 in test cricket. His batting has improved a lot in the last 18 months but all his best innings have come as a counter puncher with an aggressive mindset. I'd be seriously worried with him walking to the wicket at 4/80. India can get away with having Pant/Saha at 6 because they both average 40+ with the bat in FC cricket, so does Jadeja at 7. All three have test tons. Paine averages 29.65 in FC cricket with 3 tons in his entire FC career while Neser averages 25.47. I think for now the answer has to be one of Head/Wade/Maxwell until another contender makes a strong case in shield cricket. The only other alternative I see would be moving Puco down the order (which I think will inevitably happen) but at this point we don't really have any obvious contenders to open and he needs time to settle into his role anyway.
