Harmi is a problem and the younger bowlers just don't have the consistancy, hence why they have gone for a more dependable sort in Sidebottom who knows his game.Chrispyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116768172493122694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37251922.post-359003099679652802007-05-22T20:03:00.000+01:002007-05-22T20:03:00.000+01:00Ah - I guess he's fit then.

Fred has to be considered to be a bowler who can bat, so must only come in at the expense of another bowler in a four man main attack.<BR/><BR/>Tim<BR/>If Vaughan had been out for longer, or it had been a different type of injury, then I'd agree with you. However it was just a broken finger and he's played a lot of cricket recently. The fairly lengthy innings against the combined attack of Stuart Clarke and Shane Warne shows that he's in decent form. And it was a run-out that cut that one short.<BR/><BR/>As for the bowlers, Onions has been comprehensively out-bowled by Steve Harmison all summer. Ryan Sidebottom went off injured in Notts last game, I believe. I don't know how fit he is.Richard Lakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12305428361656401297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37251922.post-35742871333215705822007-05-22T13:30:00.000+01:002007-05-22T13:30:00.000+01:00Personally, I'd like Vaughan to play one first-cla...Personally, I'd like Vaughan to play one first-class game before returning. And Anderson has been wayward of late - what about Onions or, going down the horses for courses route, Sidebottom?<BR/><BR/>Unlucky for Jon Lewis that he's injured, otherwise he'd be a certainty.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09215417891130654291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37251922.post-45105262898908199622007-05-22T12:51:00.000+01:002007-05-22T12:51:00.000+01:00I will be very annoyed if its Ian Bell who makes w...I will be very annoyed if its Ian Bell who makes way fr Flintoff.
