It is just mind-bogglingly stupid to send players with known injuries into battle. Quite apart from the fact that, if he breaks down, he will not be allowed a substitute, there is a risk of aggravating the injury. I do wish England would stop taking these chances: one day, they are going to end a man's career prematurely like this.
Your comment on the "dead rubber" is appropriate for the series, Greg, but as I said above, in the wider scheme of things England really need every rating point that is going, so they should be playing every game to win. Unfortunately, they are just arsing around as they have throughout in Pakistan.
