I made that point about his batting a couple of days ago Reg, I don't really understand your point? Seemed to me you were putting Bresnan's bowling on a par with Luke Wrights.
Having thought it I don't think Bresnan is in the tour party anyway...my point is that I think we need 5 front line bowlers, Sidebottom in the past has shown himself to be test standard, but significantly weakens the batting, so I suspect the selectors will err on the side of caution, and pick someone probably Wright, who does a bit of both, but neither to test standard.
