riyad seems to blow hot and cold...at this point, naeem is much better as a batter. both can be easily milked for runs by good teams, and i guess any economy rate around 5 is good for them (wickets are secondary).

but i now oppose naeem moving up the order. chances are he'd lose his touch. and he's not going to be able to boom boom at number 3 or 4. i want him to bat anywhere from 6-8, situationally. if we're 4 wickets down around the 40th over, send him in next to get his eye in and then blast away. but don't wait till too late to send him in.

he was key between us posting 245 or 260, which ultimately made no difference, but still, naeem played a great little cameo.

kudos to both him and riyad, more so than even ash perhaps.
