Why not? A leg spinner is a far more attacking option than a boring right-arm fast medium who is likely to be cannon fodder for likes of Viv Richards and co.

In this team, if you needed quick wickets then you'd have Chandra bowling in tandom with either Mushtaq or Sylvestor Clarke. Prassana and Streak could be brought back after the break-through to keep the pressure on.

Nah, not having it.

One of them actually took nearly two wickets an innings. And name me a successful team with only two pace bowling options. In the end, the fifth bowler isn't going to be bowling a huge amount anyway, the time that he'll be needed in this side is the 10-25th over while the ball is still new and the quicks are tired.

Was surprising to see three spinners for sure, it would have been better if they were all frontline bowlers but it is an interesting side.

 

[NUFAN]

The Q XI promised so much, but finished rather disappointingly. Martyn is going to be forced to bowl a few overs of his mediums. I think John R Reid would have been a fine addition, perhaps a slightly underrated performer.

 

[Jager]

Going to try something a little like what Nuf did before and round out the team in two rounds.

1. Choose your openers
2. Choose your middle order (3-5)
3. Choose your fourth bowler (either spin or pace)
4. Choose a player to bat at 6 (specialist batsman or fifth bowling option)
