Yeah, but people just call Bresnan "honest" because when he bowls he looks like a chubby little Yorkshireman trying to get away from an angry sheep. It's all aesthetics. If he looked like the Fonz everyone would accuse him of being a mercurial lazy guy who isn't really trying half the time.

He bowls 85mph with decent enough accuracy and swings it, and he can hold a bat. Truth is, he's a reasonably good prospect for England.

Waaaaay overrated for mine. Drops far too many catches. Not even in the same league as De Villiers or Symonds.
