Frustrating as Harmison is I'd bring him back, we have to be attacking and the Aussies would much rather face Broad than Harmison. Harmison seems to be in good form bowling well at the moment for Durham, Broad just serves up pies to give the batsmen a break.

Apparently has badly blistered feet and bowled poorly at the weekend in the CC. Pace was right down etc.

Sidebottom is mooted, which if you select him, with Onions & Anderson, it's literally hands together, "Our Father, Who Art In Heaven, Cloud & Swing be thy name .... "

Why the hell did we wait for clarke to get his century before calling it a draw ?

Because the Aussies didn't want to declare until Clarke got his century, and it was that which signalled the end of the game.

Totally damp squid of a day in the end, but hey ho, one up with 2 to play.
