@Man with a Plan

- If Faisal opens, it will ruin his career. Openers are very different as compared to other batsmen. The argument regarding Sehwag is very flawed, he is in no shape or form a reliable opener. He has no technical skills and good foot work.

• Shoaib Malik has yet to tranform into a good opener. He seldom performs and mostly a dissapointment. He never looks comfortable, he pitches in because we have no other choice.

• Yasir hameed seems more capable than Butt and Farhat. He will not give away his wicket like these two are doing for quite a long period of time.

I dont think so faisal will ever opt to open, he is the likely replacement for Inzi whenever he decide to hang the boots, as for Malik transformation I have said before I wish that kind of dedicated focus and concentration was given to an opening pair (Tauffy/Farhat, Butt/Yasir/ Afridi/ Butt...etc) but for now that matter is gone with the wind.

As for Yasir, if you remember he had a nagging habit of edging artistically, ball pitching in the corridor of uncertainity. so far the bottom line is (for the Eng tour) give these two openers (Butt/Farhat) a chance (Test & ODI) even if they play the whole series like the first match outing, if they or either dont succeed then forget them for good.
