Our bowling attack worries me. We've got one bowler out of form and probably nursing an injury, another just back from injury who will take time to find his rhythm, and couple of medium pace trundlers who don't do much with the ball. Then the spinner, dear god. In 30+ years of watching test cricket I can't recall another so-called frontline spin bowler as inaccurate as Craig. Maybe, just maybe he'll pull a rabbit out of a hat and win us the game on day 5 but the banal reality is that he'll almost certainly get pasted for 5 or 6 runs an over. It's incredible that a bowler of his age and experience seems to have so little control and sends down so much rubbish.
