In any case, as far as the equilibrium of the crew clearly with Gareth Delany returning and afterward ensuring we had the vital spinners available to us for the conditions that we’re likely going to look in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. There’s IPL coming up now so we anticipate that the pitches should turn ones and low and slow so there we needed to think about that. Clearly, William was deplorable to pass up a major opportunity.”
