Oh and WW, basically it's Flintoff and Fletcher that pick the team on tour. At home it is mainly the selectors :jester: but when away from home the selectors stay at home and the captain and the coach pick them. F***ing idiots the both of them apparently.
I must admit to being surprised at this, although with hindsight I think Tommy boy is right. Fletcher decided that the 2005 side was a winning side, and will sit with that side/formation whatever happens. The decision to not play Monty is even more ridiculous here than it was in the first test...
I'd drop Anderson and Harmison. I understand that Harmison needs games if he is to get his form back, but I'm not convinced that he will get his form back either way. And we can't afford to perservere with an atrocious bowler just in case he feels like turning up and bowling well. I'd drop these...
