The reliance on five seamers has, at times, felt like a default setting rather than a tactical decision, and in Division One, that’s something worth questioning. It’s easy to understand how that approach developed. English conditions, particularly early in the season, tend to favour seam bowling, and having a deep pool of quicks gives you control and variety.
