Jewel batting at 7 is senseless.

If he’s in for Lewis ( maybe injured) he should not be batting behind chase…might as well play the extra bowler in Shamar in that case

Shamar is a well established runs truck

He is in his best position now

What you saying don’t make sense.
Better to replace Lewis with a bowler…and weaken the batting? Why?
And bringing in a batsman to replace another doesn’t mean that he has to bat in the exact same spot. Binary thinking. There may be someone else already on the team who may be better suited to shift.
And who says he’s batting #7 anyway? What’s listed can change, depending on the situation.

It amazes me the Hetty cannot make the 11.

Lewis most likely injured/sick.

He’s also a well established big wicket taker who bats well down the order.

I just don’t see the point in replacing an opener with a a guy who you obviously think is a #7

But you instead prefer that they replace the opener with a #10. Ok.
