Part time medium pacers can do well there. I remember Cosgrove and Jesse Ryder had decent records there. Doesn't mean they are test standard bowlers

Thing is there’s nothing at all wrong with him wanting to develop it and better it: great, good on him.

But bowlers his size, bowling at 132-134km/h, slamming the ball into the pitch, don’t take wickets virtually anywhere, much less Australia.

You either have to add an extra 10km/h and a little bit of swing and seam and become Dale Steyn or Malcolm Marshall, or Darren Gough like in your style (yeah, real easy), or your bowl like Philander or Mayers or the litany of Kiwi bowlers who never really did a great deal over the course of their careers but could swing or seam the ball around corners at 125km/h when conditions suited.

Actually surprised by Warner he does offer some insights i thought he would be much worse
Yes I thought he would be terrible. Whereas he is in fact a breath of fresh air. I don't watch 7's coverage but thankfully no more Healy, Taylor, Slater et al on Fox.

I still pine for the days of Benaud, Lawry, Greig, .... not Ian Chappell
