International Vice-Captain
Because i don't see being consistent as something trivial which is easily changed with some hard work in nets.
Stuart Broad, now he has potential because he's got a brilliant action, is quite accurate and very consistent.
Notice that Liam Plunket has none of the above things.
Take Anderson as an example, four years ago he had potential because he bowled MoYo with a swinging yorker, he to could bowl mid to high 80s with great seam position and at times swing it.
4 years on, it's the same old story.
He's had 4 years and is still bascialy the exact same bowler.
I don't consider that as having potential.
Saj Mahmood aswell.
3 years ago i saw him play for Lancs 2nds at my home ground, i watched every ball he bowled. He had pace, he had bounce, he made it quite awkward for the batsman at times, yet most of the time he sprayed it around and the batsmen could pick him off for easy runs.
3 years later, he's slightly taller, slightly quicker, gets slightly more bounce, and slightly more swing. He's still as inacurate as a Mark Sheilds' press conference. He's still "got potential" acording to some people, yet he's still getting routinely hit from here to next week by anyone who can hold a bat.
