Yes the fifth bowling slot kills the named team.
Take a look at the three Twenty20 World Cup champions and the bowling lineup's for the finals.
India 07
- RP Singh
- S Sreesanth
- J Sharma
- Y Pathan
- I Pathan
- H Singh
Pakistan 09
- M Aamer
- A Razzaq
- S Afridi
- S Ajmal
- S Malik
- U Gul
England 10
- Sidebottom
- Bresnan
- Broad
- Swann
- Yardy
- Wright
A successful Twenty20 team needs five/six bowlers better than part-time status. I would be seriously worried if I was relying on one of KP, White or Raina to provide an option outside of the four named bowlers.
