England's ODI Team Is Possibly Our Best Ever - But What About The Test Squad?

West Indies legend Michael Holding says England are scared of producing pace bowlers and that their lack of them was the problem in the Ashes defeat.
England lost the recent series 4-0 against Australia.
Holding says English pace bowlers are "not encouraged to go fast" and that economy rates are favoured over pace.
"If you're taking wickets, that's the important factor," said Holding. "But I have seen over the last 10 years or so, England don't seem to think that way."
In the Ashes, Australia's Mitchell Starc averaged 89.1mph, just ahead of team-mates Josh Hazelwood (88.8mph) and Pat Cummins (88.1mph), with Chris Woakes the fastest of the England bowlers at an average of 85.6mph. BBC Cricket.
