So taking Bird was basically just a **** act to piss off the blokes who haven't recruited any bowlers yet?

I figure it's worth being conservative with bowlers. Last season I started with Roach and Hilfenhaus as front-line bowlers only to perform below par.
Bird a steal at Round 6 IMO. Considering how well Copeland performed based on his first class record, Bird should be a star.
