surprised milne isnt in their test squad, considering how England crack when they see proper pace on the ball, southee and boult are no slouches mind.

remember when broad and southee came on the scene at the same time, who would you say has progressed most?

**Lord Snooty** · 04-05-2015, 15:52

Broad I would say.

jjamez · 04-05-2015, 17:46

i'm more inclined to lean towards southee, i think he is the better tactical and technical bowler out of the two. he's also a better swinger of the ball in terms of away swing and has found his own way of bring the ball back into the right hander.

lets not forget the display he put on in the world cup, we couldnt handle him there with a white ball, whats the odds of dealing with it in our own conditions with a red? the only things broad has up on southee is pace (which is still debatable) and fitness (southee has been injured more than broad, which takes some doing)

If England are wanting to have a look at bowlers that are in form, maybe james harris at middlesex will be up there? considering he has just got a 9 for. although he is another talent that has been hampered by injuries

kevin pietersen has scored a handful of runs today, nothing spectacular, but maybe enough for the selectors to prick their ears up about...
