In an idle moment, I had a brief look at the career statistics of "Boyo" Croft. Whilst accepting that bowlers averages would generally rise against stronger oppositon, I think the figures are quite revealing.

His performances against individual nations break down as follows:

New Zealand: 10 wickets at 16.20
Zimbabwe: 8 wickets at 22.25
West Indies: 9 wickets at 35.11
Australia: 10 wickets at 56.5
Pakistan: 2 wickets at 62.50
South Africa: 0 wickets (211 runs conceded)

Croft has picked up nearly half his wickets against soft opposition (i.e. 18 wickets vs Zim and NZ at 18.89 each). The remainder of his wickets cost nearly 58 each. The conclusion must be that when he comes up against good teams containing quality batsmen, Croft doesn't come up to scratch.

Sorry, WBA, but that's the way it is.
