I see, like me, you are following along on CricInfo  Well He's basically Australian (24 Years living here I think). He struggled to make the first XI for Victoria, he has played what 11 first class games? If you had asked me about him a week ago, I would not know who you were talking about. Where did England randomly get his selection from? Well fairly, I can't comment on him as I have not actually seen him bowl yet. But the commentary on CricInfo has said that he is not getting any swing (on a pitch where the SA bowlers were getting quite a bit) and he is not express pace either. They also said his wicket was missing leg. Judging by this he musn't be too good, but, figures of 9 over 1/33 are pretty good for a debut. When the Fox telecast finally starts at 10:30, hopefully I will get to see some of him so I can make my own judgement! |

He only played somthing like 2 games here, he's only played 26 first class games in total and to be honest, he's not up to scratch.

I'm yet to see anything at all special about Broad.
Congrats to Pattinson on his 2nd.
