Can we win it?

If we don't bowl like complete TOOLS again then, why not?

Harmison has the ability to tear the Aussies apart on his day. We were crying out for him in the first test.

 

[John Bumlick]

is this really news though? i heard his injury was of the nagging variety that can take a long time to heal and that he might miss the whole series.

as for winning it, some batting would be nice too.

 

[alex_brighton]

harminson MUST play for us to have any chance!
drop panesar, and tbh i would rather have onions instead of broad atm.

but if we drop Monty our batting will be severely weakened!

a risk im willing to take

 

[alex_brighton]

Surely if we only want one spinner we could just play Monty as a specialist batsman?

good thinking!

Ignore the teams, it's Lords.

Where we haven't beaten Australia since the war, or something ridiculous like that.

[Monsieur Le Plonk]

Since 1934 in fact.

It's a run that's got to end some time though

Edit: Just looked this up - the time before 1934 was 1896. So, England have beaten Australia at Lord's just once in 113 years.

Didn't we already know this?
