Don't really get the inclusion of Dawson when Ali and Root could provide adequate spin options

I don't really either, but i guess he gives another pretty strong batting option and that they hope he will provide a bit more control than Ali or Rashid. he's also a good fielder which Baylis seems to set quite a lot of weight on.

Yeah & I really hope he suprises us all. Just seems a touch out of the blue and really conservative for me.

I wonder to what extent Dawson has been picked as the holding spinner a la Ashley Piles and Ali has been picked int he role Jos Buttler was given of attacking or counter attacking number seven batsman...

Ali will always score his runs at a decent click I think. So it will be interesting to see what pans out, Only thing is you've got the potential for that mid-low order to be blown away.

Dawson also serves to strengthen that doesn't he, opened the batting in FC for a season or so IIRC.

Suppose so.....It just a case of wait and see I think. No one really knows how people will perform. I hope it works and we can find that right balance

I guess basically they fancy his as the spinner more then Ali or Rashid but that Ali is worth his spot as a batter/backup spinner after the winter he had.
