people forget that kapil didnt have that much pace as imran, hadlee, willis, lillee,thomo, robers, holding but still he was the highest wicket taker in the world at one time. praveen can be developed as very good test bowler as well. He has the ability to swing both ways. Its alway difficult to face a medium paced swing bowler than express pace. One has to adjust the batting technique to wait for the ball and see till very last moment which is very difficult to do if you are batsman. There is a doubt in the batsman mind always facing a swing bowler who swings the ball in air rather than depending on seam. I wish praveen best of luck for his test career. I think zak, Praveen, Ishant will be very good combination under england condition. If you have to consider 4th pacer for england i would choose RP Singh ahead of Sreesanth simply because RP was a major contributor in our series win in england last time. That experience would really come handy if we get back RP into the squad for England.

but for me in tests both dravid and laxman are better than him. - My thoughts. I have always held Dravid and vvs far above sachin. But dravid now is past his hey days. His game needs that tremendous amount of concentration that he is having issues with.
