I feel like there must be context to this, surely
Not really. He was talking Yasir down, calling him a weak link because he goes for a few runs. Then he claimed he never would have been given a chance for England, which would say more about England than it does about Yasir, and probably isn't true anyway. He just came out with the Salisbury comparison out of nowhere, which the other two guys barely concealed their derision for.

Adil Rashid got a whole test summer on the strength of one delivery in an ODI

He even had the chance to back out and say he wasn't serious, but he doubled down in the face of laughter from the others.

Just a bad moment all round.

Yasir is better bowling with his left arm than Salisbury was. Salisbury was one of the worst spinners to play for England.
One of? :-O

Hate to bag a bloke who's copped more than his fair share over the last couple of decades, but can't think of any slow bowler who we showed more patience with for less reward.

Mason Crane and Scott Borthwick have played during Yasir's career. It's almost as ridiculous a statement as the Salisbury comparison.
Borthwick has a juicy Test average tho. :ph34r:

Woah I just looked at his cricinfo profile and he has aged about a thousand years compared to his previous profile photo.

Well we certainly gave him more games than he deserved but Dawson was particularly crap too as was Schofield and not even mentioned Kerrigan.
