Is Cumming going to be the next Sinclair?

I’m not about to advocate for Sinclair, but I have seen much more from him in ODIs than I ever have from Cumming. I don’t think I like the idea of using a good domestic/poor international in a run of form drafted in as cover for injury. I would rather see someone with a proven track record used, even if they are out of form.

It couldn’t have been Flynn, because they haven’t got his number,

I think it is easier to remember someone’s number when you are giving them good news.
