Why oh why do we keep resorting to Harmlessone? He simply can't hack it playing test cricket.

Even if KP and Freddy were in the team we'd have still been bowled out for 102. However I think we'd have a few more wickets if Freddy was playing as he doesn't slap it in short like Harmison does. Broad has been our best bowler in this match so far yet people slate him all the time?

Think the real problem came when Struass decided to bat first. In my opinion that was a crazy choice. On a first morning at Headingly where there has been overnight rain and there's a bit of dampness around you'd be crazy not to bowl. The swing they got was more than enough. They must be laughing tonight in that Aussie hotel. It was almost as bad a decision as Nasser's in Brisbane.

Utterly bemused that Sidebottom wasn't picked over Harmison. The conditions called for line and length bowling, as Clark and Siddle proved.

Ponting was going to bat first as well.

Harmison is now a walking advert for the poor standards in the County game, where he has been made to look ok.

Some quality bowling again this morning... parp. Are they stupid and bowling wrong lines/lengths, or just bowling crap?

Oh dear. We needed early wickets this morning but this games not totally gone. We'll have to bat for 3 days to save it. No chance.

Fucking hell, Strauss gets out and Super-Rav gets a first baller. Bad decision but still, 35 run highest score from 8 innings.

Jeez, on the replay that was a massive edge. Can't get a break for love nor money Ravi.

If any of the players come out after the match (or this evening) and say anything about "learning lessons" I motion that they should be shot immediately.

get some more bat on it, and you won't leave any doubt in the umpires mind. He's playing like a retard.
