He's a great bowler and learning all the time though plus I love his temperament. He doesn't mind taking a few licks, he'll keep on fighting and won't get disheartened. The English pace attack ****es over ours as well, Shoaib is better than anybody you have but only for 3 overs and then he gets tired and fakes an injury to avoid having to do anything for the rest of the match. We don't have anybody else who's really shown they belong at test level unfortunately. As far as our batting goes it's just Inzi shouldering the burden as usual, just have to target him.
