Is that a bit of an extreme analogy? Isn't it more like asking Dunk to play as the right sided centre back rather than the left sided one? Or Knocky to play on the left wing rather than the right?
They thought it worth a go in the first test.
So any thoughts on why Root dropped back to 4 when all winter we've wanted to seem him at 3?
He got a 50 in the 2nd innings last test batting at 3, which could have set us on our way to saving that game. I realise Vince has come in, but I'd really liked to have seen the captain stick his neck...
