But are they exposed because of a leadership decision that causes that?

Crawley looks better for putting away the booming front foot drive. Brook has played ridiculous shots etc etc

Is it the player or the method they are asked to play?

Why is there no competition for places? It's a closed shop and the captain has a lot to do with that. No consequences for failure implies a carefree attitude can occur.

Jason Gillespie on TMS after day 4 had it spot on IMO.
