Second 'test' against India A has started.

N Wagner is 12th man. Replaced by Rutherford.

Looks like the following starting XI:
GH Worker, TWM Latham, HD Rutherford, NT Broom, DG Brownlie, RA Young (c) (wk), LJ Woodcock, SR Wells, TS Nethula, BJ Arnel, AJ McKay

So only 2 proper seamers, on an early-season October wicket. Seems odd to me. I know their are multiple purposes to an 'A' match ... but still weird.

Also I would have thought giving T Boult a game in one of these matches would have been a decent build up for him to the tests in a month v Sri Lanka.
