Best English bowling attack

he was feeling self conscious before he even pressed the post button. says it all. red handed, though it might just be the sunburn.

You ain't getting those tasty fish dishes off his food cart, are you?

I feel that the 2005 attack was greater than the sum of its parts. You could easily criticise Harmison and Giles and argue that Hoggard was too dependant on conditions. And yet one of the all time great sides hardly ever dominated with the bat in that series, and were usually dismantled reasonably comprehensively. It's hard to evaluate the late 1970s attack based on the 1978-79 Ashes given how depleted the Australians were. But most of those guys provided some serious evidence in other series to suggest that they belong in the higher echelons of English attacks.

2011>2005 mainly because of how much Swann adds to the attack compared to Giles.
