#2 Lynn Should open

This was the Chris Lynn that scared the hell out of all the big bash bowlers

For 3-4 overs today Lynn showed why he's backed so much by the Australian management and why he's hyped as much as he is. The ease with which he smashed 3 sixes off Khaleel would have been Deja Vu for the Brisbane crowd, having seen him do that to many bowlers many a time in Big Bash at his home ground.

But again, he succumbed once again to a quality spin of Kuldeep Yadav. Australia had made a bold step in the previous series by promoting Lynn to the top with the aim of giving him the freedom to express himself in the first 6 overs.

Although it didn't work out as planned, that is a move worth sticking to. Lynn in first 6 overs would be a potent weapon and with him typically lacking the guile against spin, the more settled he is, the better chance he would have of surviving spin.
