Why was Theron batting 8 and not bowling? Have I missed something?

I had a batsman injured and no replacement batsmen in the squad AFAIK. Theron would have been the sixth bowler, not a very good one, and only stealing overs off the other five. I didn't want him to bowl, and he ended up a specialist batsman at eight.

Well my questions to you are:

Firstly, do you really think Jadeja is a better bowler?
Secondly, why draft Theron if you do?
Finally, what are you smoking if you think Theron is a better batsman than Woakes?

[G.I.Joe]

Two spinners, brah.

I didn't draft the team. Babysitting it for Shri, who hasn't taken back control since his return, for whatever reasons.

If all he's going to do is bat, might as well bat eight.

[Prince EWS]

Woakes is so much better than him with the bat that it's not even funny though.

Was 3 am, Shri's not boycotting CW anymore, and I cbf searching out the entire squad. I only posted a lineup because there was an injury and the team could no longer remain on auto pilot.

All pointless after the fact though. The batting wasn't the problem in this match.
