"Likely to be the workhorse of the England bowling attack. Will take the new ball and exploit any bounce in the wicket but will mainly be bowling line and length for long periods."

The fast bowler has had plenty of unnecessary confrontations with both opponents and umpires over the last year or so but he's a key member of this team....

Likely to be the workhorse of the England bowling attack. Will take the new ball and exploit any bounce in the wicket but will mainly be bowling line and length for long periods. Will be expected to make significant batting contributions at number eight.

Likes: Bowling on a good length a la Glen McGrath
Dislikes: Things not going his way
Trivia: On the night after he won the Ashes at the Oval in 2009, he slept in his whites, still wearing his medals.
