Nope IMO. Would relieve the pressure on Flintoff at 6. Batting down to 8, four front-liners and some part-timers.

Still, that's England back to picking bowlers for their batting rather than their bowling ability isn't it.
North for Symonds anyone?
Hodge for Symonds.
Or more likely picking an extra batsman who can bowl a bit ahead of a crap batsman who can't even be trusted to bowl!Quote:

"It certainly came into my mind. You question what you do and why you are doing it," said the unlucky Hodge, who has played five Tests.
Its the only international cricket I'll see in person this year, so yes, it matters heaps. Better be the best test in living memory or I'm going to sulk! :)Quote:
