really cannot understand why they do not want Blackwell - yes, its true, he does have a fondness for the odd pie and pint but he is the perfect "last man". What does "Last man" mean - well, in short, hes the guy you add to the other best ten and he fits around. Got no spinner? he can do it. ant a decent top order bat...he's there. Allrounder....yep, that too.
Borthwick should be pshed, I agree. But with Colly and Benko in there already, having three frontline seamers Borthwick and Blackwell seems to make eminent sense, and would hardly weaken their batting given Mustard at seven, Borthwick eight...
