Nevil (sadly starting to lose even more letters off the end of his name for reasons that will only become clear in the next story arc) has a broken jaw, so I guess would have been out of the series anyway.

Dangerous game.

Think they might well be looking at someone who can bowl much better at 6.

Guess it makes Maxwell a certain starter. Perhaps when they want a third seamer they will drop a spin bowler to accomidate? Hopefully we wont see Agar batting at 7 with wade moved to 6 :panic


sorry for repeating myself here but does Smith's reluctance to use Maxwell as a bowler in the ODIs not suggest they dont consider his bowling to be a strength ?

different conditions i know but Head has been used to bowl quite a few overs



There might well be something in that . Maxwell did not make many friends with his outburst at the start of the summer. Head seems to keep it tight, which would be useful in India.
