there you go, his bowling record mainly pertains to before let's say 2010. it's now 2013, so we can say he hasn't really been bowling regularly for a good 2 years, i respect his good performances and agree he's an option worth looking into but if you're playing test cricket you need to bowl regularly and you need to have regular performances backing you to show you're going to be able to handle test cricket. let's not be hasty, let him put in a few more performances, bowl a bit more regularly before drafting him into the test team.
