Strauss* Cook Bell Pietersen (promotion to number four halfway through a match is hardly politic) Collingwood Joyce Read Mahmoud Panesar Harmison Hoggard Perhaps I am not being thoroughly serious... but I suspect that Flintoff would not play for Mr. Strauss in this last match, if he was asked to take a pay cut. Don't forget it could be: Strauss Cook Vaughan* Bell Pietersen Collingwood Flintoff Read Harmison Panesar Hoggard. Surely though. Just surely we can bury Graveney's "inspirational Flintoff" tag. And get on with someone who knows and reacts well to the job.

| Maybe Fred does need a rest, but Mahmood going at 4.7 an over and bagging a desperate pair frightens me! Maybe we should go OTT on the batting and drop Mahmood and Fred for Joyce and Dalrymple!!! I'd not bring Vaughan back into the test side now, no point challenging his fitness too much and having both him and Fred in the team alongside Strauss would be a little difficult to manage at present! |

| Actually greg that would be like the three stooges and very entertaining. As team spirit has now collapsed completely (apparently, for the first time ever, everyone did there own thing at christmas day rather than as a team) pick vaughan and let all three fight to be captain. I can just see them all trying to squeeze through the same door to get to the toss first, sending fielders to three different posotions at once- it would be hillarious !

| Interestingly enough Michael Vaughan was the last England skipper who refused to bowl one member of his attack. Some chap called Simon Jones. Michael Atherton was quite hard on various blokes too. Vaughan seemed to adapt quite quickly. Flintoff seems to have struggled to move from his entrenchment. But Mahmoud did get twenty-five overs. And that's a start.

| Alright then Cyril, I understand. I share Roger's rage about this tour and will withstand his nominative inaccuracies for a short time.  |

| Cheers Clive, I was just about to reach for the kleenex anyway. And not in THAT way either you filthy minded so and so.
