Frankly we had a big discussion around it but we went with 5 seam and 4 spin for some specific tactical reasons where 2 of the seam options are seam and wanted 3 other who are front line top bowlers.

lets hope we got the decision right and see how it works out for the tour.

thanks for the thought though.

Best Luck with the tour.
