Pleased to see Swanny get the call for the first test against India. It was a no-brainer playing two spinners in this match… but that’s not always meant a lot where the England selectors are confirmed.
What I don’t understand though is why we’re STILL not playing Owais Shah. He’s been arguably our best one day batsman for a good year now, and on current form he surely, surely has to be in the side ahead of Collingwood. His inventive, manipulative technique is also much more suited to the demands of Indian bowlers and pitch conditions than Collingwood’s bottom handed style.
Maybe Collys bowling option has given him the edge, but he’s going to cause next to no danger with his dobbers on flat, dry Indian wickets.
I’d be feeling very hard done by – once again – if I was Owais….
