Manners, do you have Bavuma's stats at different batting positions? I can't help but feel he excels at 5. Does it seem to be a deliberate plan by Shukri to keep him there and not move him up, as some of the other coaches have done?

Hi Alex,

Just time between commentary stints to reply - thanks to the brilliance of our stats guru, Rodney Ulyate. And you are quite right - Bavuma does excel at number 5!

Batting Position:

2 - 56 runs @ 28

4 - 987 runs @ 35.25

5 - 1059 runs @ 50.42

6 - 1321 runs @ 33.64

7 - 192 runs @ 38.40
