Robin Peterson, South Africa's Ashley Giles equivalent, is pushing for Australia to play an all rounder in the first test to replace Shane Watson. "You don't want to leave yourself short in South Africa," he says. "If you only have three seamers and one breaks down, you could end up short."
In other words, pick an all rounder in case one of your bowlers breaks down. Have a spare tire.
Weaken the batting, put the team at risk of constant collapse, just in case someone has a hamstring.
Here's an idea - why not pick four fit bowlers?
Peterson is either very dumb or cunning and wants to encourage Australia to weaken the team. And is Henriques in the squad it might just happen.
