Can't see England doing that either tbh.

I really don't know, the ball consistantly slips out of his hand, he is constantly fighting his body to bowl straight (he says it himself) and I experience that too, it creates the fact that every ball you must remember to push the ball to get it outside off stump.
Fantastic shot and good running by Morton.

England are a lot more likely in my opinion. Especially if we add the Flintoff factor.

From my knowledge 1962 Pakistan was quite dire and I am also quite certain a few Kiwi sides from the 60's and Lankan sides from the 80's must be quite poor (mainly due to teething problems) but man this one really takes the cake.

Getting 20 wickets should not be hard in England as long as you have a few good wicket taking bowlers, which both teams have (Harmison on form, Plunkett, Sidebottom, Hoggard & Khan, Sreesanth and Kumble)

Probably. NZ in 1969 are the only rivals for that title, afaics.

Conditions that are doing everything for swing bowlers. Dunno if you noticed but Harmison isn't a swing bowler.Oh, ffs, honestly if this carries on, they've got to drop Harmison, it's getting beyond a joke. A pitch that's doing everything, against a clueless team, and he still can't trouble them

They don't really though, none of those fill me with too much confidence against two of the best batting sides in the world imo. Flintoff, Hoggard and Sreesanth are the only ones that I can see doing any real damage. Drawfest imo.

Yup he isn't a swing or seam bowler, just a crap bowler.

Well, I guess we will have to wait and see...

Seconded. Hope the pitches offer a bit more for the bowlers than usual, but I can't see it happening.

He is a bounce and pace bowler if you are to classifi (the true spelling is starred out for some odd reason) him.

Yeah, really can't see why not. Conditions suit them perfectly, and Collingwood actually bowled well at Lords (actually outbowled Harmison IMO).

Pace and bounce bowlers are most effective on Aus and SA pitches and we all know his Test record at those 2 places, so basically he just a crap pace and bounce bowler.
Manee

Yep, for the memory of Percy Sonn.

Well, I thought that would be the best way to clas**** him. He seems to have tightened up his action somewhat. Lets see some pace from Harmison now, where is the 93mph bowler that apparently demolished teams a few weeks ago for Durham and broke Yardy's (I think) finger.
