cause he's freddie? Its a tough one.

Even if he can't bowl frontline overs, he has the potential to give us something that Anderson, Broad and Frontbottom don't have.

It may prove to be a test too soon though, and we may well miss the runs.
I do like the thought of having him in there though, he's one of those players that just seems to be able to make things happen right when you need them.
