England's batting bowlers
England’s current wealth of fast bowling resources is one of their biggest advantages, if not their biggest advantage
By contrast in 2011, England have Bresnan and Broad at No8 and No9 (with Swann to follow) and they provide a magnificent insurance policy. Recently only the South Africa side at the turn of the century, with so many all-rounders down the order, could rival this depth of batting.
