THANK GOD we have JO hanging in there to see off the fasties. WHat he does is common sense. If he hangs on to his wickets, we get to play close to 50 overs and the other batsmen know that they can go with their natural flow (so to speak). It doesn't take a genuis to figure out the importance of an opener (or anyone from the top order) playing up to 20-30-40... overs. It works great with our batting order which regularly collapses against the softest deliveries.
