This is basically what I was thinking, a slow pitch with lots of movement suits our batting mentality on a whole and will help our pacers too. I'm fine with being used primarily to hold one end up but as a spinner I can't help but feel 3 is a bit too low. I'd like 1-7-5 if people are fine with that.
Fixed.

Fair enough.
As an aside since I'm quite bored right now and we need to drum up some interest, would there be any interest in some ****s-and-giggles simming where we tour the world and play all the test-playing nations in 3 test series? Their lineups would be based off the last test they played.
All I need is for Howe to post lineups that I'd use in the first, second and third tests of every series and I'll take it from there.

The Grenades' first foray into the unknown will see the clash of two keeper-captains. One who wants to take his young, inexperienced outfit to glory, and another who wants to teach his opposite number just how daunting a task that really is.
The pitches in Bangladesh are expected to provide lots of assistance to the batsmen and the spinners, with very little encouragement coming the seamers' way. The Webbers might be intimidated by the hostile crowds unlike anything they've ever seen before, but their passion will only serve to drive the home team on.
The stage is set for an explosive encounter, and the Grenades wouldn't have it any other way.
