You call steve harmison with 37.04 average in the last 12 months of test cricket(13 test matches during that period ) and Matthew Hoggard with 38.35 average in the last 12 months(10 test matches during that period) as key players. What do you call sidebottom who is in the team instead of steve harmison with an average of 25.75 in the same period and tremlett who is in the team instead of matthew hoggard with an average of 29.69. Going by the recent performance and their overall bowling average India would have had upper hand if Steve Harmison and Matthew Hoggard were in the team instead of Sidebottom and Tremlett.
Please do some research or atleast watch cricket before calling steve harmisson and matthew hoggard as key players. if they are key players then RP Singh and Sreesanth are world class bowlers
