Harmison out. His 6th duck in 7 innings?

Two allrounders to get us to tea now

 

[Simster]

9 down now.

Let's hope Prior is given the chance to get to 50. Incidentally his test average is now 47.48 in 22 matches which is really quite impressive.

The problem was with the selection. You do not need five specialist bowlers at Headingly. Stuart Broad is not a number 7 in test match cricket. We did not need to win the game and try and force a result, so we should have played an extra batsman at 6, Prior at 7, and 4 bowlers. I think the only reason the selectors did not go this way was because they would have to of dropped Broad because he has not got any wickets and he seems to be the Golden One who cannot be dropped.

I totally disagree. We already have 6 batsmen, if you count Bopara.

Prior's currently got the second best average for us in the series and he's level with Collingwood in second place in runs scored.

Secondly, if we win this match we win the Ashes - surely you have to go for it? Matthew Hoggard said that sides have found it tough to take 20 wickets at Headingley this season, so if this is the case it's made a damn sight harder with only 4 bowlers.

Harmison's had dodgy feet this season, and if he pulled up lame we'd be completely f***ed.

Can only hope that Anderson and Harmisson can do the business.

Great decision to bat first Strauss, absolutely Hussain-esque stuff.

I have just had to remind the 2 Aussies and the South African in my office that as part of the IT Team, I can control office internet access on user-by-user basis. Any more piss taking and they're blocked.

He's got 6 wickets, the same as Swann, one less than England's Best BowlerTM Andrew Flintoff.

I dont wont to win this series anymore, for one reason only. We will end up with






















Ravi Bopara M.B.E.
