Why do i? Quality bowler, improving with age. No reason to drop him for a dip in from

in this series. He's the sort of player that patience will pay off with.
Keep him in the side, he'll learn from this, like he learned from the windies.

My only problem is with the england set up, that seem intent on trying to make him bowl like harmison.
When he can't.
It wastes his abilities and turns him into a bowler that's easy to play.

How many of his short balls actually connected? To easy to avoid.
Short stuff, at least the Aggressive style short stuff that?s there to attempt to hit, hurt and scare batsman, rather than tempt a loose shot, is better left to the guys like Harmy and Flintoff that can make it spit up off a fuller length.
Batsman can?t avoid them, get hit.

I like broad though, stick with him, but let him bowl the way he?s best, pitching it up, attacking the stumps, and probing outside off.
