The post was done 2 years ago when I was talking about potential openers for the future. All the scorecards were showing was that he opened which Matt stated he never seen before. They weren't used to backup him as opener, why on earth would I use u17 matches to get him into the side as test opener?
We already have an all rounder, Steven Smith would be in there as a batsmen first that offers part time spin. And we have a ton of options that are ahead of him, but given the selectors are really keen on him this would be the better way to get him in. And FTW North got into the side with an FC average of 44.
