Oh right, and England were expected to thrash the Aussies i all the games weren't they! As for India - the matches over late 2002 and 2003 showed the 2 sides to be fairly equal at Test level (4 draws in 7 matches)
I expect to see Harmison spearheading the attack against Zimbabawe, and if he doesn't succeed then, then maybe there's a case for giving someone else a go.
It is completely unfair on him tough to drop him based on performances against the best batting side and the best side in World Cricket.

So you want to give him a chance so he's given a fair go when we all know he's not good enough? The ECB have probably decided that he's the next leader of the attack and will keep picking him weather he performs or not. I would rather just get rid of him until he can bowl properly and get someone else who's proved that he can.marc71178 said:

Everything about Harmison from the clumsy run up, action, his falling away, and the short ball outside leg stump is painful to watch.. I think if he bowls against Zim i might be turning over to E4 to watch Big Brother 4 Live.
I think i am going to agree to disagree with you Marc

You mean the ECB, who most people realised were a bunch of idiots long ago due to their selections which were sometimes based on performances in County Cricket, and some players who have done even better and have been ignored. I'm sorry, but every international team has a dodgy selection panel, from South Africa and Zimbabwe's outright racism to Pakistan's throwing young players in at every oppertunity. England's is no different, and Harmison and Dawson are 2 products of that. You know, if you actually opened your eyes and watched Harmison bowl then you would understand why the selection panel is such a joke for not only picking him, but also giving him a 6 month contract. But instead your prepared to listen to all the rubbish they trawl up and even use pathetic arguements such as "the australians were impressed with him so he must be good." Come on Marc, you know he's rubbish, you know he can't bowl, you know he doesn't deserve his place in the squad, so why argue? Either you know or your as blind as a bat...marc71178 said:

Scots playing for England??
Perhaps we should think about picking Ryan Watson who so massively pummelled our supposed class bowlers all over the shop. I just could not believe my eyes on Teletext. I notice the official site hasn't (last time I looked) got round to writing their own report. Not a great deal to say. We were shocking, move on!!

Surely he's a fixture in the side after his prolific career...

Ian Johnson not picked for England...
nor his namesake Richard Johnson!! Is Johnson carrying a niggling injury?? I heard he was a doubt for today's thrash (looks like rain might make it a reduced overs farce again, fingers crossed we avoid the Scotland result again)
I only ask cos he's been ignored by England apparently cos of injury. However he bowled suitably well in the Glamorgan second innings to bag 3 wkts so he can't be too bad. He appears to have been labelled an injury disaster in the press like Alex Tudor. Still, Johnson will have his day soon (he says hopefully..)

Peter Anderson announced Johnson's unavailabilty for England a number of days ago, so it's not really far to say he's been ignored.
