Think that's enough Johnson.
We've gone away from what was working. Copeland needs a good long (10+ overs) spell, with Watson having a good bowl as well and Lyon and the other end. Harris and Johnson with short spells every now and again. Instead Left Arm Scattergun has bowled more overs than anyone.

Don't like Harris going around either. LBWs are more likely than edges to third slip. They're just not going to carry unless it's quite short.

FFS Why is Haddin up?! Go back!

Always makes bowlers like Copes, PK, Asif look useless.

I don't understand this. To someone like Watson it's ok, but why Copeland...

Ummmmm because Mehela would otherwise bat outside of his crease to take out the chance of LBW.

By keeping up it forces the batsman back into his crease and brings the lbw into it. It he was back the batsman would just stand a foot out of the crease and pad away with immunity.

Pad away with immunity? Er he would be out... Also it brings the edge into play. This is just ridiculous.
