GT's spin options: who gets the 7th-over assignment if the surface grips

GT's spin options are both in form, which makes the 7th-over assignment a captain's call rather than a form call. The combination question is between the two tweakers; both are taking wickets, both are holding the middle-overs economy under 7.5 RPO.

The captain's read on the conditions will decide the call. If the surface grips early, the captain will go with the spinner who bowls with more loop and turns the ball away from the right-hander. If the surface stays flat, the captain will go with the spinner who bowls flatter and skids.

For fantasy readers, both spinners are upgrade candidates in any fixture where the surface has held grip in the previous match. The captain's announcement on the morning of the fixture will confirm the call.

Watch the net session — if one spinner is bowling with the red ball (simulating the new ball), the captain is leaning toward using that spinner in the powerplay. If the spinner is bowling in the middle-overs net, the role is the middle-overs hold.
