In picking a team to win one of the key aspects would be to emphasise your strengths, but also minimise the effectiveness of their key players.
A team would struggle to beat us if they didn't put time into negating the effect of players such as Cripps and Curnow.
If we didn't pay attention to their key movers an opposition side would do some damage.
It has to be a balance.
It's why one side and strategy won't fit every situation and the selection of a side will be 'horses for courses' in terms of all positions.
Yes, of course it's balance, but the original point was, ours was all over the shop and we went away from that balance at the selection table.
We fielding a team unlike what had got us there and we lost our balance at the selection table because we were too focussed on the beating them.
