Snape's hand/finger? Or was it Giles' arm?Neil Pickup said:Giles missed a large amount of the tour having bowled well in the first test as well, I believe.
Didn't Harmison break something of his (or Blackwell's) in the Nets?

Yeah but what if he actually was always injured all the time... The only person who can tell that is him..Neil Pickup said:Can't be. There were more fight in Ipswich when they got rolled 9-0 by Manure than in Alex Tudor..
Are cricketers' body armour and helmets directly descended from that stuff that Ned Kelly used to wear when 'shopping'?Linda said:Pah. Nothing the Aussies couldnt overcome...
