Are you drunk? Nobody bowls at 95/96 and I didnt say he cant challenge batsmen. My point was that in some conditions you need to bowl fuller and he needs to work on that to get it right. I am saying there is plenty there to work with and he offers something the others dont.

He is not alone in not bowling full enough when the conditions demand it. Broad and Anderson have regularly been criticised (quite rightly) for the same failures in recent years.
