If it doesn't go badly though, it would could go well very quickly.

Haha yeah there's no way in hell they'd even consider that combination for a live Test.

Your under rating Faulkner who could be Ryan Harris if he wanted to according to some.

Sounds like it'll be ideal conditions for swing and seam bowling tomorrow - am going to learn from my mistake in the last Test and have a Plan B for entertaining myself at the weekend

Good conditions for seam bowling at The Oval? I really will have seen everything.

Indeed.
I am trying to think of what teams would take him as even their third seamer.

Cloudy all day and the odd shower according to Carol Kirkwood this morning - hate to admit it, and I certainly want Australia to lose, but I wouldn't mind seeing Clarke score a few runs - does that make me a bad Englishman?

Harbhajan out Faulkner in to debut for India would fit very well.

Not sure if you are following team India too closely at the moment but with Saha at 6, Faulkner would suit 7. I disagree but meh, not really the thread for it. I can't wait for tomorrow night, hope we put in a good showing and I'm excited for Cummins tbh.

Then I stand corrected. I havn't been following them. I think Faulkner as an allrounder at 7 could be very useful provided there are 4 other bowlers. But I did say 3rd seamer which I guess you defendably took literally. I think I meant 3rd seamer amongst the main 4 front line bowlers and assuming the 5th guy was an allrounder. I hadn't really factored on teams who play 2 or 3 spinners in my hypothetical.
Sorry it made sense when I asked the question but not now I am typing it out.
