Guess what? I been saying the same exact thing for months and am getting bashed as a blind Siddons hater. Individual performers can't win us matches if there is no strategy to maximize their contribution towards the team's goal.
However, I think Zimbabwe went overboard with spinners. I guess they don't have much of a choice as their pace department is real poor. But you can't win an ODI (let alone a Test) with such an one-dimensional attack.
Again, I think our best bowling strategy would be to mix up pacers and spinners better. Opening with a pacer-spinner combo is nothing new, many teams including ours have used the strategy in past.
But yeah, current BD team management don't seem to be spending much time strategizing, they are just leaving things for players to figure out on the fly.
