## Resource

After several injury replacements in the opening 2 rounds of the County Championship, does the rule need to be changed already? Will teams use the rule to their advantage at the business end of the season if things don't change? Should the rule be amended to impact injuries instead of muscular ones? How does the new replacement rule impact a Head Coach when it comes to selection? How does Somerset Head Coach Jason Kerr manage expectations around James Rew? Will he open the batting for Somerset to strengthen his case of playing for England?
