Harshly treated or correct decision to play a "defensive" spinner instead.
I'm undecided.
Pros
-In his last 7 tests Rash has taken 29 wickets more than any England bowler.
-Rash was best English bowler in recent champions trophy
-Rash took 23 wickets in last tour of India. A remarkable feat not even matched by Warne iirc
-A leggie who takes wickets and bowls out the tail
-decent bat too
Cons
-He can prove expensive
-If we are playing Mo as a batsman who bowls a bit we need another frontline spinner
-He always bowls a odd bad ball, which can be unproductive in test cricket
Conclusion. In this day and age of attacking brand of English cricket, do we need a spinner in the ashley giles mould who holds a end up or should we be wanting to take wickets with every bowler? I feel that Rash has been harshly treated and should have played in the Lords test.
