Along with a number of names mentioned, I am sure Broad has a big future in Test cricket, but I think that Harmison is a much better option at the moment.

Give Broad another season in County Cricket, Harmison may not be bowling well, but I doubt that Broad/Anderson/Mahmood will be able to bowl any better.

Among the younger English breed, Donald concentrates on four bowlers. "I like Saj Mahmood. He's got real talent but he does need some fine-tuning so he becomes a more consistent threat. [Liam] Plunkett is pretty much the same - if not as quick. If you bring in Stuart Broad, along with [Jimmy] Anderson, then you've got an exciting crop of quicks. Broad and Anderson would be my first two choices - with Mahmood and Plunkett having the next most potential. They're the future.
