Whatever side we play, Hoggard has to be in it - he's done nothing to deserve being dropped save for being the workhorse and class act of the team for years. |
Yes, I like that line-up. I'd go with either Harmison or Broad as the fourth seamer, both of whom have shown steady form so far- probably Broad, as he's a support-type seamer as opposed to Harmison, who's a genuine opener. On the other hand, either Hoggard or Sidebottom would be effective as an old-ball bowler, so Harmison could open with one of them and the other come in second change. I think England's main worry is Flintoff's lack of runs so far.
