I was sure someone had said Nicholls at 6 but can't find it now. He's got a decent number of not outs there too.
Kyle Mills for the 10 and maybe Baz at 9?
All negative - not sure Nicholls has enough games at 6, Mills is 3rd at 10 (and also at 9) and I don't think Baz was ever that low was he?
Hadn't picked up that the qualifier had gone up to 20.
Neesham at 6?

Another one taken - just 9 and 10 to be guessed. 9 is a left-handed bat, 10 is a right-handed bat. Both have opened the bowling at test level for NZ.

You should have quoted the bit where he said he counted matches where they didn't bat as if they had batted at their listed position.

He's listed with 36 games at number 11 - not his fault he "DID NOT BAT" in most of them.

scoring rate would be far too slow....
could be an urban myth but I'm fairly certain I read that Geoffrey Boycott batted for a not out to 'draw' one of the very early ODIs.....

I think its more likely that you are thinking of India v England in the First CWC which is infamous for Sunny Gavaskar's turgid batting.
Batting first England got about 350. Gavaskar opened for India and carried his bat through the innings (60 overs) for [can't quite remember] somewhere in the 30's.
I can't really remember anything else about the match other than (obviously) India lost by truckloads.
Multiple theories abound for Gavaskar's behaviour including gave up so protected his average, was having a dummy spit because he wasn't captain, didn't agree with India's bowling selection. Whatever is was a display of utter fluffybunnyishness.
Clive Lloyd was accused of deliberately dropping Boycott in the 79 Final but always denied it. Boycott could be a selfish prick but I don't actually remember him being that bad (for his era) in ODI's. He scored painfully slowly but it was a time of no fielding restrictions and even guys like Kallicharan scored at a snails pace by today's standards. Once the game changed with guys like Richards and Botham Boycott was dropped from the England ODI squad. I don't think he deliberately batted slowly he just prized his wicket and was so risk averse and this was so ingrained that he wouldn't/couldn't hit out even when well on top if he thought it might risk getting out.
