Although K.Lawnbowls' explanation of why he was 12th man was a classic example of the new-age wankery and over-complication that is rife in some wings of professional sport these days. Keeping Wagner out to see how the rest of the attack goes without a spearhead? Does this seem a better idea than actually playing him and giving him a chance to impress/fine tune his game ahead of Sri Lanka, where it's not inconceivable that he could play?
Wonderful post - love the language usage.
