Maybe a generational thing. I certainly don't see matches in any format going like that. Ian Botham was never in at No 1 or 2 and he could score like nobodies business. But usually the good batsmen go in first. Boycott and Gooch were at one stage England's openers but one would get out and the pair would not have got that far. Both however were capable of getting centuries
