Apparently broad is in because he can bat too.


Although to be honest Harmison also has the ability to survive 40 something deliveries for a handful of runs (as this was the most significant contribution broad made last time) in a desperate attempt to force a draw when the real batters all failed miserably.


Edit: In accordance with the prophecy.

Think I'd have to go with Broad over Harmy. Ok, Harmison's got a bit of form going, but I have zero confidence he can carry that into a test. An ashes test. As well as the top order staying in, think I'd also like to see some teeth in the bowling - I'd say Anderson needs to do something this match!

lol! Yes, he could, but I still don't think he would. Though I have to admit I can't think of any other pace bowlers. I imagine he'll be in the squad for the next test if we continue to bowl with like we did in Cardiff. But I?d ditch Anderson.


Keet ? who?d you have instead of Cook?

a class act. I''ve no idea, when did he stopped playing? I doubt there's been anyone since then. There really should be more facial hair in cricket. Surely it's part of the games heritage, can't the selctors enforce it? Even if that's just a rule for wicket keepers.


Agree with you on Cook. But that sums up how I feel about Broad too.

Not a bad morning session - Cook with a 50, no wickets and all Australian bowlers looking average at best. Not too many chances given by either Strauss or Cook - both seemed to remember, when tempted, that their task was:


a. To get to lunch without losing their wicket


b. To grind down the bowling


c. To get in and stay in.


Here's hoping the weather tomorrow allows a good day's play and that my wallet can stand the Lord's beer prices.

      High Court is a boost to Reform?

      By Sephiroth · Posted

      It should be easy enough to point out to anyone even thinking of voting reform that should they take power they will have no impact. And will make things worse.  And if people think politicians break promises now and reform are a breath of fresh air then they ain’t seen nothing yet  but they won’t really care about immigration if reform do win  uk used to be about law and order and now we have dim talking heads everywhere unchallenged going “leave the ECHR, stuff the judges, just do it!!”   like life is that simple sweeties

      I have been reliably informed that it's not the same group.
