^^ good post. It's a point I've been trying to make. There are times when we lose early wickets which means our #3 effectively plays as an opener. A batsman who's played predominantly in the middle order would struggle as he doesn't have the skills to face the new ball. The player could then lose confidence if he performed poorly and it'd have an overall negative effect. The worry for us is that we have several middle order batsmen performing but not enough top order batsmen.
