Maybe it's insurance due to some of them not being 100% fit.

So far I'm more worried about the gulf in quality between Philander and our batsmen than I am about the selection.

Then don't pick all the bowlers who aren't fit. You have Roland-Jones in the background who is plenty capable of stepping in.

Don't sacrifice balance for insurance. How many times has it been proven that bits and pieces doesn't work? We gave a damn good example of it in the winter.

Sure. I'm suggesting that's why they did it, not that I think it's a good idea.

How good is it to have commentators who don't say anything if they don't actually have anything to say

More of an empty rant at the situation than at you, apologies.

What would be really funny now is Dawson having a blinder.

No worries, I do it all the time.

As for Dawson, yes that would be funny, but I suspect that a brave but ultimately futile innings of 40, followed by 1 for 90 is rather likelier.

Seems like a lot less effort than what you just did. Plenty of good reasons to not buy one, but cbf doesn't seem to fit here. :p

Yes, you're right. More accurate is that I don't see the value of getting a CricketArchive subscription unless CPL was to come back or something.
