Anderson's Hopeful

According to the BBC Sport site England are hopeful that Jimmy Boy will play. They will make a decision on Friday morning. Seems a bit strange to me. I mean, how can he possibly field effectively? What if we play him, bat 1st and he gets rapped on the knuckles? They should rule him out now. Yet another selection gamble on injured players. Utter madness. Beware the Ides of March!
