Just a thought, but perhaps Schofield is in the squad because he's the leading wicket taker in the Twenty20 this season.

So now the powers that be select on stats only, without even looking at players? Schofield is rubbish, bowls at least one pie an over, international batting line-ups will take him apart.

We want to select bowlers who are difficult to get away, who can bowl a consistent nagging line and length with variations in pace, not pie-chuckers who will pick up a wicket or two but go for 12 an over in the process.
