As you've said before. But you're probably just basing that opinion on the back of 1 Yuvraj over.

I'd back the lad to no worse than Harmison or Anderson tbh.

No,
not exactly. He's actually good containing the runs in LOIs, contrary
to what people would think after watching the Yuvi over. Just haven't
seen him produce enough genuine wicket taking balls, a requisite(?:?: ) for test cricket.

obviously, I'd think.

That might be true, but my last recollection of Harmison in the sub-continent is one of him trundling in bowling military medium over and over again. A Flintoff he most definitely aint.

Myself I'd rather see Broad go for 36 an over again than see that long streak of Geordie pish get back into the side.

me too.

Does that mean you're Sri Lankan or Indian, I'm not sure? Only expecting you to be a 'little Englander' like me with an axe to grind against Harmison would be expecting too much.

Bullsh!t you lying c0ckmuching window-licker. He tried to win us the First Test versus India last year with some mad fire when they were attempting the tonk. So sit on a d1ck or two, may help your facts become straight.

England's solution- Pick both and drop Anderson. Fair enough.

HAHA Anderson really crashed and burned. Poor Jimmikins!

But Harmison and Broad fighting it out now for the 3rd Seamers position when Hoggard regains fitness.

I WANT SWANN TO PLAY IN THE 3RD TEST!!

Far be it from me to say I told you so - but, to hell with it - I. Told. You. So.

That's all.

So if they both bomb, you'll also accept the blame I presume?

I'll adopt the Graveney Defence - "It was the captain and coach"

What would the odds be on Harmison NOT bowling a wide in this Test match? $20?

Who cares?

It's not like it's one-day cricket.
