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.

      Dawson heights parking charge notice

      By mary123 · Posted

      The residents & families of the estate are getting parking fines,  out of the blue , the residents parking system waa changed from Southern to Sippi with cameras put up in the car park and people issued with fines entering the estate for more then 10 minutes , families can no longer pick up or drop off family due to a new 10 minute wait fine. Residents are appealing with Sippi and Southern as there was no letters to consult of a parking change,  new waiting times or fines, delivery drivers are getting fines everyday,  if you get a fine,  appeal it, there is no signage up to say about parking fines or waiting time

      Threads that devolve like this should be moved to the Lounge, so the 'comedy' can continue in an appropriate vacuum.

      How very dare you. Rest assured, if it were intended to be comedy, it would have been funny.

      I hadn't looked at the actual posts on Instagram. That's sad, then. The shop opening hours are still shown at the top of the page. I  guess changing them wasn't uppermost in her mind under the circumstances.
