If Cook is a Test bowler I am a nuclear scientist. Pace at 77MPH. Not going to trouble good Test match batsmen.  Bashir is looking threatening.

If Stokes thinks he is good enough that will do me. Don’t you just love amateur experts.

I refuse to believe Stokes really wanted him over Potts .

Bashir does bowl wicket taking deliveries. But he also bowls a lot of loose stuff, and you fear that better batsmen will milk him.

That he took 6 wickets doesn't say much about the seam attack though.

I was just copying his response to me saying Bashir isn’t good enough.

This is my worry with him against India and especially Australia, there's some excellent attacking batsman in both sides that will relish some of what Bashir serves up.

Bashir can bowl some absolute pearlers, he just needs to get more consistent. Can’t do that without playing matches though

He has got the ability to get batsmen out. Every spinner will bowl a loose ball. His height on hard pitches will be an advantage as he will get some bounce. He delivers the ball with a lot of overspin which makes the ball dip.

I don’t think Bashir nor Cook should start the Ashes .  Bashir has talent - not sure how that should be enhanced best .
