    Lehmann should actually look at the wicket before he makes justifications like that then Australia prepare for Durham Ashes debut - YouTube

    *Official* Fourth Test at Chester-le-Street

    Neither did any of the other quicks. It is a flat pitch. I rate someone like Harris as one of the best flat wicket bowlers in the world, and given he didn't extract anything either, I think it's pretty fair to say there just wasn't much in it.
