Allan Donald told that, England is improving with every passing match. Perhaps, the finest bowler in South African history, and believe England skipper Andrew Strauss has the best bowling attack in the world at his clearance.

Donald said: England is good side; they are at progress for every game. They are progressing as a really good unit. In pacers Stuart Broad, James Anderson and Chris Tremlett and spinner Graeme Swann, England have the best bowling attack in the world as of now.

There is no question that, Graeme Swann, Anderson, Chris Tremlett and Broad are fantastic players. Then you have got a few more in the bank, Tim Bresnan still in the wings.
