I know as a Warwick man I'm biased but to me he's the most intelligent bowler we have and he can bat a bit too. All these new quickies are too inconsistent. England are obsessed with them. The classic example being the dropping of Plunkett after the last World cup. He consistently picked up wickets in the middle of innings which no one else was doing but his medium pace wasn't flavour of the month and there was clearly a dressing room issue. Bazball seems a bit like this with its favourites and faces that don't fit. Marc
