In terms of the excitement and the way the whole country felt involved, it never will. Simply because 2005 was all on free to air TV.

He and Bennett are good mates, yes, but that's not really relevant to the comparison I'm making. For all I know, KP might be in the throes of a massive bromance with Matt Prior. The point is that all people really base their views of Pietersen on is that he obviously isn't part of the gang, and...

England would have lost the third AND fourth tests, without Pietersen's contribution. Just because he isn't your ideal 'team player' doesn't make him any less important TO that team, or mean that they would want him in it any less.

The only players whose places are under any concievable threat of genuinnely being dropped*, would be Bairstow (and to a lesser extent Root). Having kept faith with them all the time that the series was actually still in the balance, it would be absolute madness to deny either of them the...

There is a full week off before the fifth Test, and nothing of any real importance immediately afterwards. There is absolutely zero reason to REST anyone at all. If there are one or two changes (I think there will be none) then they will be driven by a wish to give the incoming players the...

Swann is only 34. Got years in him yet.

Swann 23 Harris 20 Anderson, Siddle, Broad all on 17 They'd better bloody not rest Swann. What a terrible, terrible suggestion! I doubt very much they'd rest Prior either - he needs the chance to get a score.

How is that Cook's fault? Would have been entirely down to Broad and Prior. If they are convinced there was a nick, what's he supposed to do?

It won't make me rich! Its 5/1 or 9/2 -one or the other. I'll see where it stands at the end of this Test. If Swann is still well ahead of Anderson, I'll probably put a few quid on Harris to be top Australia bowler at the Oval, as he'll almost certainly need to be that to overhaul Swann, and if...

Thanks to Harris' performance this morning, my £10 on Swann to be top series wicket taker isn't looking quite so rosy. Now currently; Swann 21 Harris 20 Anderson 17 Siddle 17 3 or 4 for Swann in this innings please.
