Unless you're talking about a professional team, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that you don't have any other option and that 5 mediocre overs from a part-time bowler is the best you can hope for. Most bowlers can be made to appear respectable given a suitably realistic field - however set an inappropriately aggressive field and you will soon see the runs being piled on. Swallowing your pride and posting a couple of boundary riders can make the difference between winning and losing.
