Why it might be a good idea to pick RP Singh

This is a dangerous post.

In a couple of hours I'll either look like a genius or an idiot.

Throughout the last 5 years the English batting lineup have played really well. Really really well. They have averaged 38.46 overall. The numbers are interesting however when they are broken down a bit:

Average	Right arm	Left arm
Pace bowling	37.63	28.55
Spin bowling	43.76	47.19

You will notice the glaring number in that list - left arm pace. Perhaps that is the kryptonite that will end the reign of the English (read mostly South African and Irish) supermen.
