Really want to see Oshane Thomas let it fly. This will go down as one of the "thiccest" fast bowling attacks of all time. A real wall of muscle.

Because there is no incentive to do so unless the bowling side is doing really well/has more than one spinner/is playing under bad light

Think you linked the wrong post. Thai leads me to SCC1's post.

Usually teams do bowl more than the ICC required absolute minimum number of overs
(The normal absolute minimum number of overs required is closer to eighty than ninety)..
As an example:
Three drinks intervals, 4 minutes each: minus three overs
Six wickets before close of play, 2 minutes each: minus three overs
Four DRS referrals, one minute each: minus one over
Even assuming that none of the other four allowances are needed, the absolute minimum number of overs: 83

Me too! They've announced the squad and it's the same but Keemo Paul in for Holder. Sensible selection again, I just don't know how to feel, this is unheard of!
I'd rest one of the pacers and try Oshane. Paul has to play to strengthen the lower order.

Not necessarily sure Wood is the answer for that quick bowler slot beyond this series, since his injury problems he seems to have lost that extra nip of pace that makes him a real handful. However, it’s right to leave Curran out, I just don’t see a Test bowler in him at this stage at all, that’s not to say there’s a lot of ability there and scope for development but he’s not ready yet.
He’s effectively a new ball bowler where he gets some shape with the new ball but he hasn’t even looked particularly threatening when he is curving it away from the lefties and into the right-handers. His spells after the new ball has lost its swing are fairly mediocre, not really offering the requisite control or threat allowing the batsmen to milk him and find the boundary when the inevitable floaty delivery is served up.
He has a lot of talent and that will hopefully be harnessed through the summer back at Surrey.
