fetcheveryone Dec 2021 9:38am, 19 Dec 2021 26,956 posts	0 fetcheveryone Marts - I wondered about sending Malan and Root in to open. It's not as if the current state of affairs has especially protected them from the new ball and fresh bowlers. If anything, they've arrived to face bowlers with their tails already up. So what harm would it do to give Burns and Hameed the chance to face a softer ball?
