You might just as well expect Hobbs, Sutcliffe, Hammond, Woolley, and my nephew, Dulcepsiahli, to get the wickets which your chosen bowlers have failed to get. Would that be considered a sound cricket argument?
Of course not.
Then why choose, for your Nos. 8 to 11 bowlers who can bat and leave out heiter bowlers who cannot bat? Though, to be candid, I cannot esc where even these bowlers, who can- not bat, are to be found. Amung them the best by far is Bowos.
