A Long Tail

Alzarri now batting like a tailender, our tail is very long, starting from no.8. Quel domage!

In reply to Hendra

Shamar must bat at 8

Long tail that starts at number 3

but seriously, they need to promote Shamar Joseph. Ideally, Holder is probably a 7 but the issue is, so is Da Silva. Moving one up to six, as they have done with Holder in this series, weakens the overall batting. Alzarri should not be coming in at 8...he is a 9 at best. Maybe Shamar will be entrusted to move up a spot or two, he should not be going in at 11.
