IT defies belief David Warner is about to leave the Ashes tour for an Australia A tour of Africa.
I get the thinking, send him to South Africa and Zimbabwe to find form and bring him back later in the series, but I strongly disagree with it.
Unless Jimmy Anderson bobs up in the Zimbabwe side, Warner scoring runs won't count for anything. He would be far better served facing James Pattinson in the nets.The standard of bowling he will face in Africa and the conditions will be chalk and cheese to the challenges that await him in England.
Apart from the practice issue there is the question of Australia being caught short of batsmen if something happens on match morning.

It's true Warner has not played for a month but he has been practising in the nets every day and, to me, the whole match practice thing is overrated. Sometimes you have to take the plunge
By practising in the nets Warner would be no lesser prepared than a batsman starting a new season, and plenty of batsmen have started summers with a century in their first match.
I would promote Usman Khawaja in place of Ed Cowan for the second Test.
I love Cowan's work ethic but he does not look comfortable at the crease.
The choice of Australia's bowling attack for Lord's is interesting with speculation suggesting tall seamer Jackson Bird is putting pressure on Mitchell Starc.
My go-to man for this tour was always going to be Ryan Harris, but maybe Bird has outbowled him.
I can understand the push for more control but no matter what attack Australia chooses the most obvious improvement must be in the collective run scoring of the top order.
There is no faulting Australia's effort or commitment. But we need more runs.
It really is that simple.
