Brett Lee coz he played his heart out every test and was so unlucky... he should have had more wickets than he did and should have had his fifty twice... and he was a great sportsman thru it all too... exept for his last spell which i think he was gonna kill someone :p i wonder what made him so angry?

Simon Jones id say fo England. The two openers did very well, strauss the only man to get 2 hundreds in the series but then pieterson did get the most runs

Has anyone done any digging about that? I really wanted Vaughan to declare during that spell (having formerly obviously been of the opinion would simply be embarrassing for the Aussies and bad sportsmanship) not least to protect Hoggard.

I'd say Langer for Australia, the only batsman who England's bowlers struggled to get out.

For England, it's a three-way fight between Tresco, KP and the Dragon. I think Dragon shades it, if only because he was the one out of the seamers who many thought could struggle - he was even dropped in SA, seems unthinkable now. Tresco had a fantastic series though, he really imposed himself and was a very safe pair of hands apart from one difficult chance (shame he didn't get to do any bowling :p ). I don't really think any more needs to be said about KP to be honest.

Apparently Hoggard laughed at him

Hoggy always laughs when he batting. Especially when he's being sledged.

That's true - he laughs when 96mph bouncers whistle past his ears, which isn't conducive to not getting any more of them!

Made to look a bit stupid by not having Hoggard in any trouble at all though! :laugh:

I thought Hoggy dealt with it extremely well, a less laid-back character may have been a little peeved at receiving such a barrage for no apparent reason, but he simply got on with it. Says a lot for the man.
