also people continue to think you can just shuffle any player up to open and they'll be fine, opening is a specialist position it's very tough to turn yourself into an opener, in most cases the player either has what it takes or he doesn't.
i think riyad is fine where he is, currently bangladesh don't have any player better than riyad to bat in the latter overs imo.

Spot on! It takes a lot of guts and mental alertness to open and face these fast bowlers, not everyone can be an opener. Tamim seems comfortable, SN is still uncomfortable even after playing so many ODIs, Nazim and Zunaid have still not proven themselves because they have not been given enough opportunities.
