YAY, slightly odd tho because Solanki's last game he scored a faster-than-a-run-a-ball century. I hope Strauss & Trescothick open in ODIs, although I expect they'll leave Strauss down the order with Flintoff not there.SpaceMonkey said:Well and truely dropped
They wont change the team. Struass will open imo, with Pieterson coming in lower down in Flintoffs place.Scaly piscine said:YAY, slightly odd tho because Solanki's last game he scored a faster-than-a-run-a-ball century.

IIRC Solanki is an opening batman for his countyRichard said:Well Geirant Jones will now open for a while according to Vaughan.
You never know, there might just be the slightest off-chance of Solanki batting in the middle-order.
But honestly; why the hell must England consistently try to turn middle-order batsmen (many of whom aren't even good enough - such as Jones and Solanki) into ODI openers? It just defies belief.
Yep, opens in the one day game and bats middle order in the championship.SpeedKing said:IIRC Solanki is an opening batman for his county
