I take it Ferguson got better after being plumb to Yardy early on?
Seriously though, Yardy is the sort of bowler who will do well when he hasn't been seen before, because he's quite unique in his style. My worry is that a brilliant batsman, or a guy that has seen a bit of him, will smash him once he gets used to his bowling. Agreed on Shahzad though, he should be playing, especially with Anderson not around for the first bunch of games. Interesting to see who plays in the ODIs out of Bell and Trott too, unless we try and get them both in, which would be difficult. I'm just praying that neither plays in the T20 games.
