Bowling leg spin with 250 to defend is difficult unless your Shane Warne.
Moeen will get pasted away from home as our front line spinner, he bowls too many four balls. With Bess/Rash, they can both bat and so can Ali. We can just about get away with carrying an extra spinner, especially when we're playing Stokes and Curran. I'd play Rashid in Sri Lanka though, we'll need to bat well and there should be big scores down there so we'll need all the bowling we can manage.
