Bell to open and Prior down the order. <br /><br />I'll happily hold my hands up and never question Flower's judgement again if Prior makes a success of opening.<br /><br />I wonder will Sunday's game make my views look even more stupid!Dean @ Cricket Betting Bloghttp://www.cricketbettingblog.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30531601.post-66149473125079362692011-01-26T13:51:52.780+00:002011-01-26T13:51:52.780+00:00Thanks, Dean.

As I'm sure you know, the problem with writing anything is that events always prove you wrong.<br /><br />Prior 67 today and Bell 0!<br /><br />Only one game though...Brian Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10336241250446877498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30531601.post-36619965788584530092011-01-25T21:01:53.227+00:002011-01-25T21:01:53.227+00:00I myself, eluded to the fact that there was always...I myself, eluded to the fact that there was always going to be 3 spinners in the world cup squad, so to (apparently) not even make an effort for that is a joke really.<br /><br />It sounds like Flower was prepared to cut him some slack as well.<br /><br />With regard to the Prior choice, I don't think too many would have disagreed with it at the time. I just think he would be better down the order. If Bell is opening in T20, then surely he is capable of opening here as well.<br /><br />I think we are still in the last knockings of the Gilchrist factor. Which is surprising considering we didn't fall into the same trap with trying to replace Flintoff.Dean @ Cricket BettingBloghttp://www.cricketbettingblog.com/noreply@blogger.com
