I believe Tendulkar has played everywhere between 1 and 8, and Harris has now batted between 4 and 11, as he batted 11 in his most recent ODI vs. Australia when he busted his collarbone.

Can Australia bat to No.10? Not really. Whilst Dizzy and Warnie, and even Pigeon for that matter make a better tail than most, I can't rely on them like I have a few times this summer. In saying that, it sends a clear message that nobody can be underestimated. How many times did Pakistan have Australia reeling before letting the tail add an extra 200 this summer?
