English Cricket season

Is White injured and can't bowl? Because no one is talking about him for an England place and he was probably our best bowler in Australia.

LE...What's your view on the lack of wides in the match involving Durham. Someone in the Somerset Chat forum thinks that it's all perfectly fair and Harmison and that other well known "Airesol" bowler Danny Law managed to bowl dead straight during an innings that spanned 107 overs...he also thinks that it can't possibly be that Harmison's econ has been so impressive this year whilst his strike rate is so poor because he is bowling wide of the stumps and the batsmen are not playing at the ball because of it's width. Also he thinks Harmison's performance this season has answered the critics. Your view? Because whenever I try and agree to disagree he comes up with something else, like saying Heath Streak's record is rubbish.

My take on Harmison initially this season was one of that he was bowling wide of the stumps - but with that I'd expect more wides all season - and that his dismissals wouldn't be bowled and LBW - which all three were against Worcester, and have been most of the season.

I have no idea whatsoever (but the article was funny, I thought - and that's all that matters).

I haven't upset the assorted wurzels and zoider drinkers in Somerset Chat, have I?

Tell you one thing - Harmison's a certainty for the second test if the tickets don't sell out.

Exactly why, else he'd be starting for me.

No I upset them, talking about a player who plays for their OD bogy side, Durham. Amazing how touchy some types are about players who don't even play for their team.

Harmison's a certianty for Bangladesh in the winter, thanks to the predictibility of the England selection panel who I feel are totally nuts. Maybe Rod Marsh might actually tell them to pick players who are good...

Well if Hannan Sarker and Al Sahariar are ever going to score runs, here is there chance..

More to the point, why are you the ONLY person to keep bringing this up?

2 teams, one his expected, the other his selected.

Bell ahead of Key? I'd have to disagree!

Also, Kbair would be a surprise to me.

White is injured full stop.

Had they all stayed fit he wouldn't have been our best bowler, but he performed well, and I can still see an argument for selecting him (if fit) at number 8.

That's the beauty of a forum. Anyone can dive in.

And even when there is nothing to be gained and the sole purpose of the post is to stir up and irritate a member of the board?

As I said, freedom of speech. He is entitled to speak his mind within the boundaries/rules of the forum. Whether you listen or not is up to you.
