Reprehensible tactic that sees a lower order player come in early in order to protect a top order batsman from getting himself out. Tacit admission that your actual batsmen aren't up to the job and leaves the lower-middle order fewer partners with which to score runs.
If that reasoned debate wasn't enough to convince you that it's a tactic wants scrapping, the fact that Jason Gillespie has a Test double-ton playing as a nightwatchman should just about do it.
