One question....why do we keep inserting AFtab at #3? Everytime in the WC when he came at that position, he got out cheaply right after an opening fall which caused further pressure and chaos!!!
Conversely, the only time we inserted Mushy at #3 (INDIA game), there wasn't another quick wicket after the early fall; which brought some stability. Even later on when Tamim fell, Mushy stayed till the end!!
I say, why not open Mushy to see off the ball with Tamim. Mushy could go about his defensive business as usual, while Tamim plays whatever craziness he does. Then there will be no need for JO, and we can stop wasting that batting position. Mushy can be much better doing what we needed JO to do in this WC.
