i remember mitchell johnson randomly batting at 4 in an ODI against england years ago in an attempt to use him as a pinch hitter, but he made a really solid mature run a ball 60 odd

1996 wc semifinal is the ultimate example of the pinch hitter strategy backfiring. West indies would've walked it if they'd just sent in their specialist bats and knocked it around for a few overs.

All of the above (not sure if Browne had actually opened in any other games) and harper went up the order too iirc. Dreadful choke.

Mitch Johnson making some runs is one of the most enjoyable sights in my time watching cricket. Bloke looked so good when he made a few

Yeah Symcox is a good example. He actually achieved more with the bat than with ball. This was one of his first successful pinch hitting efforts I remember:


SA struggling at 20-2 and Symcox scores 61 off 49!
And India sends Anil Kumble to do the same job when we were batting. ROFL:laugh: What the heck was Azhar thinking there !
