The other angle on their spinner is they spend 3 years grooming Bashir for this tour and then they don't play him. Jacks looks like he can bat a bit, so play him as a bat and get Bashir in as the spinner. As it is, Bethell looks like he's coming in at 3, never having scored a first class hundred. Has that ever happened anywhere in any era?
26 matches averages 28.
Who would be the Australian equivalent? Connelly? Wylie? Peake?
