Openers for the first Test

[RedOrWhite]

Warner is definitely not Jonathan Agnew when it comes to his enunciation and vocabulary that’s for sure

True. And I don't expect him to ever reach Agger's level or even Punter's level. But I hope with experience he smooths out the rough edges that are there

Boon? Hayden?

Got to go with the greatest opening duo of all time …. Graeme Wood and Bruce Laird!

Archer wouldn’t stand a chance of breaking that opening stand. They’d run themselves out first.

 

[Hamingja]

Has there ever been a Sophie's choice with so many options.

Weatherald is a fair enough call for mine. I doubt he is test class long term but he does have the talent to put together a match winning knock. I'd prefer to take that chance than watch Harris, Bancroft or Hunt scratch around for 20.

Weatherald's superior strike rate balances out and takes some pressure off the other 3 fellas at the top too.

Julien Wiener, just for the name.

Wiener, and Nathan Adcock. stiff to miss out on the poll.

Usman definitely seems to go better when the scoreboard is ticking at the other end and he can just build into the game at his own pace. I think Weatherald definitely has that over some of the other candidates.
