*Official* Fifth Test at The Oval

NUFAN

Y no Afghanistan flag
Tasmanias Forkers Faulkner and Xavier Doh'erty both have Ian Bell as their first Test wicket now.

The only thing I can think with Faulkner is they wanted to protect any niggling injury Watson has ahead of the home series.

Understandably the selectors didn't expect him to run up and down the pitch over 100 times while he was batting.

Err, there's an A side. Or anyone else currently playing in England. Or he could've not made the squad at all in a perfect world.
I said when the team was announced that I don't rate Faulkner's bowling BUT he has done the job for which he was picked

Furthermore, I assume that he was selected in front of a specialist batsman because it was considered that his all-round contribution would be greater than whatever paltry score they would put on the board

If that's the case then he has proven his worth because no-one could be confident of Hughes reaching 10 or Khawaja not throwing away a start

As I said, **** 'em

Ah so we agree Faulkner should have his arse parked watching this Test instead of playing in it. Carry on.

****, how awesome would it be if Prior, Broad and Swann just started smashing it to all parts.
It would be fantastic as it would show up the top order's excuses for the pathetic scoring rate for the garbage the world knows it to be
