Are medium-pacers useful in modern test cricket?

Not sure about the other ideas, but the Broad idea seems solid, I remain weary about his bowling, but his batting is coming along superbly.

This is the type of thing cental contacts should be used for.

ie skills development and match practice.

If certain players play for their county then there should be the provision that their 2ndary skills are worked on. Ie KP should be bowling regularly when playing for Hampshire, Bell should have semi-regular spells for Warwicks and Collingwood should be playing a role in CC games rather than just OD. Broad also needs to bat top 4 for Notts to see where his batting takes him.
Top four for Broad is going a bit far, surely? Maybe five or six.

When Vaas stared to bat at 4/5 for his FC team, his batting took a huge ascent. Broad can do the same. But I think Vaas has little bit more metal in his batting than Broad to face up to stiff challenge.
