So, if (when, actually) we put on an overwhelming beat down on the Pommies, should we go against the accepted norm and change a winning team for the 3rd and 4th just to accommodate the 'Prodigal Son'?

You have a young team that is jelling together and you bring back this hard headed guy to disrupt your progress. He'll win two games for you and lose the next 10. Turn the page of these brain spasms wtf!
