Bond, yes. Sreesanth - lot of natural talent, but too erratic.

Irfan Pathan too, in this case. could have had a great career as an AR. instead, he lost his bowling in the pursuit of developing batting too quickly

tony gray > colin croft for any who saw both. heck, tony gray was better than big bird IMO. cut from a similar cloth. massive bounce, high control, solid pace.
