I voted Broad.
Probably half way through the Ashes I would have considered dropping him, but he came through and he may just have enough to become a true all rounder.
One thing that does piss me off with Broad's development is that when he first burst on to the First Class scene he bowled at 90mph++.
Of course once he had the benefit of "top class international coaching" the speed has been reduced in favour of "line/length, swing/seam". Same old shit that is on offer throughout the County Championship.
Why is it that in English cricket bland mediocrity always reigns supreme over raw explosive talent? If it was left to me I would have wanted Broad bowling at 100mph+ by this stage of his career.
