Again.

I said the other day he was running like a three-legged dog.

I should know, I am playing cricket with a torn cartilage, I know what it is like to run with a knee made of cheese.

Harmy has been brought in as a replacement; he is allowed to play now the tests are in England.

The whisper on the street corner is that he won’t play.

If you think back to how he played his first spell was amazing, and for the rest of the time he was just ok.

Just what you need when you get beaten up in the first test, your main allrounder and best seam bowler out.

    We all knew it was going to happen. About as inevitable as Shane Watson getting crocked.

    All England will take solace from the stat that they win more often (much more) when Freddie is out in recent years.

    As for Harmy, there will probably be mutiny amongst the armchair viewer, but he history shows there is a risk involved.

    Shame they can’t persuade Tresco to just play home tests, too…

    Even more surprising – apparently, the Pope’s a Catholic.

    I love how you’re columns get censored when published on Crikey et al!

    Harmison for Flintoff – now that’s an intelligent substitution.
