These are all county teams and by their own admission did not field a full strength team. IBut again, they are good indicators.

My point is there's really no way of saying how good or bad these kids will be unless they've had some chances to perform against the top sides. Then and then only then can we brand them until then all we can say is that they have potential or even they are good but to say that our bowling attack is "good enough" (Like IanW said) is misleading.

The reason I am not sold on Russel is that his militery medium and limited variation wouldn't survive against good batsment. He doesn't bowl wicket to wicket like Styris or even Khaled Mahmud. He genrally performes well in low bouce wickets. I am not convinced of him but I would love to be proven wrong.

BTW, congrats on your 2000th post.
