His strength early on was his leave .
He does play spinners well so he can bat in the middle order too .
But ,,, Streety is maybe an even better leaver ! He has great powers of concentration . Can play marathons . I would like to see him accelerate more when he has blunted the attack . My only knock on him from what I have seen .

He averaged 20 after he was pressure into changing his style

Peirson with 123 to round out our innings for 458. Great start to the shield season so far considering our shithouse one day form a week ago.
Usman and Joe with great knocks that both fell short before reaching 100’s.
Meredith with a 5-fer which continues on his very good form this season in both formats.

He got injured .
Then got dropped from the Aus team without playing another game for Aus .
Others were favoured for openers for Aus . Seemed his position was blocked . Started playing middle order I thought to get a spot in the Aus middle order ?

That's your perception but I have never heard him talk about changing anything- he simply went through a lot of turmoil and was dropped and moved around, changed teams.
Sommerset didn't even keep him at opener until this season.

I don't think Burns 'has to open at all'. I highly doubt even if he scores 2000 runs this summer he's getting back into the side as an opener. I'd love to see him move to 5 and open with Renshaw and Street.

I actually agree with you but that just realistically isn’t going to happen. He also just scored 80. Some really shit form would have to be the catalyst for him to go down the order. Remember he managed to keep out Khawaja the test opener and for some reason Street. That to me speaks volumes of what is going to be his role this year considering out of all the opening options he is the least favourable.

What makes you think Lyon? He will play for another 5 years if he stays fit and in form. You can tell he absolutely loves it, is only playing 1 form of the game, and he will play until there is clearly a better option, or his body can't handle it.
I've always thought Burns best spot is 5. He could have had a much bigger role in international cricket if he focused on being a good #5, IMO.
