Given the choice I would drop both of them for the India and Sri Lanka games, we will need some pace in our attack and our 2 best spinners are Pricey and Cremer, who can be expensive but picks up vital wickets. Bringing in 2 pace bowlers and dropping the 2 spinners, cause i am not counting Lamb as an all-rounder. He doesn't warrant the title. Utseya has been targeted by Gayle and i think that the west indians had a good look at all the spinners after thier first 2 losses and decided he was the weak point. Tendulkar and co will be evan more brutal.

It is. If past form is anything to go by, we might get away with plenty of spin at HSC - but at QSC, we'll need pacers. Zim's form there in recent years really isn't good, as the conditions there just don't seem to suit our guys...
