Last time amla got on a flat deck over here he batted most of the week and didn't seem to get bored.

They must be expecting lords to be even flatter than usual and want spin away from the right handers.

Over the years we have tried a few left arm spinners we always seem to be looking for one.

Again....do England see something in Dawson? Gut feeling and nothing else tells me maybe we want an alternative. He bats too and is decent

We have pulled players out of county cricket before with fairly average first class records.

Be very interesting to see how he plays....I think they maybe thought Ansari could be the answer on flat tracks.but that didn't work out.

Genuinely, Liam Dawson will have passed personality tests and has been deemed the right sort. It is very much reflective of the selection policy when the wheels were falling off the Andy Flower reign.

Nothing says welcome to the English test summer quite like a Cook bunt for 1 to the leg side.
