Despite the wayward deliveries TK has looked the most threatening. Interesting that it swings after the varnish comes off. Didn't know that.

Nick Welch making way for Raza is so sick. Either Raza shouldn't have been selected or Madhevere should have made way for him.

Just need to find some consistency in these line and lengths.

Agree Chivanga has seemed the most likely to get a wicket

Really happy we are playing 4 seamers. But what a road of pitch this is.

Honestly can't believe Welch has been dropped for this game and they've left us with a stupidly long tail.

I'd be absolutely mortified if I was in his shoes here. Raza had better deliver in this game.

I know he's one of our better players but it's this whole picking and choosing bullshit which is grating on the fans. If you can ignore that and just select him then fine, good for you, but don't put it back on the fans that they have to accept its the best side. It's a matter of it being fair. Raza has played like 2 red ball games in 4 years I think? Welch must be absolutely gutted.

Yea I was never really behind the idea of a quota, but having seen this now I have a better understanding of it
