Actually I wouldn't drop Amla but I wouldn't open with him either. You got to get your hitters in early to take advantage of the first 6 overs. Not sure why tactically that is so difficult to understand and/or implement. Maybe he could bat at 3 or 4??
And waste balls later rather than upfront? I watched him with the cobras and I don't think he is suited. In one days he can build his innings. T20 is boom from the beginning.
