I don't understand what Match Referee Peter Such was thinking when he made this decision. Ajeet Singh Dale is a right arm fast bowler. The lad (he's 25) has wheels.
Tom Bailey is 34 and with respect to him isn't quite as quick as Ajeet.
Both of them would be good enough to knock me Peter Such over. Neither of us are great with the bat.
But they are right arm seam bowlers. So it's a like for like swap in that regard.
Such's decision means that Lancashire are now using an all rounder who bowls left arm seam and has only played 1 first class match.
Can't blame Lancashire for complaining. Steven Croft and Sir James Anderson's match report to the ECB will make interesting reading.
Situations like this are also the inevitable result of a playing condition not being fully considered and worded, however good the intention may be.

Andi ChorleyDevil's Day by Andrew Michael Hurley, published in 2017.
I loved Devil's Day, Hurley's second novel, as much as his first, The Loney. He moves the setting from the bleak Lancashire coast to a bleak fictional valley at the top of the River Ribble watershed in the Forest of Bowland, based on the Langden Valley. The folk horror theme is maintained with beautiful prose evoking the beauty and cruelty of nature and a detailed history of the valley, farms, and village at the foot of the moors, Underclough.
