Southees problem at the moment is that he is the bowling equivalent of a flat track bully. Give him a pitch with a bit in it or where the ball will do something in the air and he is absolute quality. If it isn't though he hasn't got much. Can even see it it first class level, ripped through Canterbury(?) last week, today went 1/100 against Auckland.
Again more experience will enable him to develop but the question becomes where do we want that to happen? Do we do it like in our batting line up where we are letting them learn on the job or do we give him a season or two of first class cricket and a couple of winters to bulk up and add 4 or 5 km
