Rotation's a jolly good thing mostly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Where would we be without rotation? Cars wouldn't be much fun,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], for a start. That trick that jugglers do with the spinning plates would be a lot less impressive. Hamsters would have more free time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which they would undoubtedly use to plot the overthrow of humanity.
So on the whole,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], rotation is a good thing. And it's something you can introduce into your daily lives. Instead of wearing the same pair of shoes until the soles flap when you walk, get yourself a development wardrobe of up-and-coming footwear, and then give some of them an occasional one-day outing, so that when the time comes for them to step up, they'll be ready. You'll find that rotation also works for shirts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], friends,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], duvets and arable crops.
It can sometimes go wrong,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Henry VIII's attempt to introduce a rotation system for the Royal Bedchamber failed because the pool from which he was selecting (unmarried women in Western Europe) was wide enough to render a rotation policy more or less superfluous,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
And it doesn't always work in cricket,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], either. Last summer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], England found that resting their good bowlers and replacing them with bowlers who were not so good resulted in a bowling performance that was not as good as it would have been had they picked their good bowlers.
That didn't go down well with the public, and neither did Australia's recent tactic of giving success a bit of a rest for the series with Sri Lanka. This week,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a spokesperson from Cricket Australia's Philosophy Department explained their thinking:
"Ah look,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], imagine you've bought a packet of chocolate biscuits,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the really expensive ones,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with the extra thick chocolate on one side. If you eat them all as soon as you get home from the shop,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], what happens? You feel a bit sick and your family hate you. More importantly, you've got no chocolate biscuits to give to your wife's mother when she comes round for tea the next day. You'll have to break out the custard creams. And she hates custard creams.
"Well,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], success is like chocolate biscuits. You have to make it last. We've been hitting the success pretty hard in the last few months, and if we carry on like that, there'll be none left for the Ashes and we won't want our dinner."
He went on to clarify that he wasn't specifically comparing George Bailey to a custard cream. Cricket Australia have every faith in George's leadership ability, and they are confident that, if dipped into a mug of tea,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], George will not go soggy, but will retain his flavour as well as any digestive in the modern game. Instead, the spokesperson blamed the packed fixture list for Australia's enforced success-rotation policy.
"Ah look,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there's too many matches. I coloured in the fixtures on my Shane Warne Estee Lauder calendar and I hung it in my office,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], next to that print of Her Majesty the Queen meeting John Howard's pet piranha. I look at that calendar every day, but some mornings I just shake my head and ask myself,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 'Which galah keeps signing up for all these fixtures? And how does Shane manage to look so radiant whilst leading a hectic modern lifestyle?'"
