.... but is far more potent that either Sidebottom or Broad will ever be, shame England don't have decent bowling coaches anymore.
I do worry about Anderson when we play a 4 man attack though, if he's having a bad day.........

The problem with our attack is that it lacks pace and potency. Sidebottom bowled tidily without looking like taking a wicket even when the ball was swinging miles as the batsman had loads of time to watch the ball. Broad was similar he bowled tidily but suggested he needed another season in CC and a yard of pace.

Prior needed a rest his confidence behind the stumps was shot and we couldn't afford him to keep missing sitters.
