England send Finn home - chairman - 01-15-2014
Fast bowler Steven Finn will miss the remainder of England's limited-overs series in Australia, instead returning home to "continue working on technical aspects of his game".
Finn did not play any of the five Ashes Tests late last year and was not selected for the first ODI at the Melbourne Cricket Ground or the tour fixture against the Prime Minister's XI at the Manuka Oval in Canberra.
"Steven is one of our most talented bowling assets who has played and will continue to play an important role for England," said coach Ashley Giles.
"He has been working hard over the last couple of months on technical aspects of his bowling and Steven and the coaches all feel continuing this work out of the performance environment will be beneficial for him."

Let's just hope he's not another Norman Cowans - ruined by good intentions.
Anyway, the only surprise is it wasn't done earlier. Send him home and work in his own time away from the public eye. Fingers crossed, because he's seriously talented.

Have no idea what's going on. Because he's a gun ODI bowler at the very least, why are they not giving him a shot at all? Weird. I don't get a lot of decisions Poms have been making lately.
