I’m not saying Bethell isn’t doing well now and Tim David is hitting well. I’m saying it right from the start: just play Devdutt/Swastik at 3 and start Tim David at 7. If we lose a lot and DDP, Swastik and David fail, then bring in Bethell.

Tim David Dajjal, let’s go… Another monstrous hit. Sixes landing on the rooftops. The last game 62*(28) and today 68*(38), both when the team desperately needed it to end.
