I see Ambrose has gone from 6 ot 8 in the batting order.

I think we needed Harmison in the team, he has been bowling very well recently, but I can't think who to take out.

Why include Harmison in the squad at all if you're not going to pick him? Hardly seems the best way to manage someone of his temperament.
I'm not sure they should have dropped Broad either. He did look tired in the last test but he's had a weeks rest, he should be ok to go again, also he is in better form with the bat than Collingwood!

Well The Hell Is JOnes
Luckily not being rushed back. After playing so little cricket since 2005, it seems the selectors are letting him get a full season of county cricket under his belt.
On a side note, WAT Beer has so far taken 6 wickets in New Zealand U19's second innings.

Tricky one really. We never looked like getting 20 wickets at Headingley but ultimately it was the batters that lost us that test match. I worry about over-bowling Freddie. Monty needs to stand up and be counted in this test match I reckon.

Harmison is a very poor bowler these days (well maybe not that bad)

So poor that he is leading wicket taker in the first division.
Do you just make this odd comments for a reaction or does your brain just not engage with reality on a regular basis?

He was poor in New Zealand, but he has done what was asked from him, gone back to County Cricket, taken wickets and so been brought back in.
At the end of the day he is a talented bowler who offers something different from the stock English bowlers, rather than a form player.
Nice being called a fool by a child with attitude.
Still just say things for reaction.

I'm disappointed that they've dropped Broad. His contribution with the bat recently has been no worse than Collingwood before he got dropped.
What are we going to do if, say, Sidebottom breaks down on Day 1? That would leave us with 2 seamers, a spinner and a coupole of pie-throwers.
South Africa can bat and if we are serious about winning the series we need to bowl them out twice. Therefore, you surely play Broad and not Collingwood?
England have also clearly decided that Anderson is now well ahead of Harmison in the pecking order. It was not so long ago that that was unthinkable.

Anyone who saw Harmison bowl at the County Ground recently would have seen a bowler bang in form. He really does seem to have sorted himself out and looks to back to 2005. He was always being asked for interviews by the Shark Bar or whatever it's called and seemed pretty level headed. I'm disappointed he's not in the side.

What is your view on Sussex not signing a short term replacement for Mush?
