Michelle for Broad.
Swann bowling well too.
Questions must be asked about the fitness of the wicket for a five day test.
North - a part-time spinner - was tearing lumps out of it yesterday on Day 1.
Come on England!!

Yorkshire doing well too against the old enemy.
Rashid again coming into form at the business end of the season.
5 wickets yesterday and 70* in a great partnership with Brophy.

131-8

143-9

Another 100 for Rashid! (Brophy out for 99!)

Have a feeling we may well be seeing quite a lot of Adil Rashid over the next few years!

If by we you mean England, then you may well be right. Maybe as a batsman who bowls a bit rather than a bowler who bats.
He's a smart fieldsman too. Replacement for Monty if he maintains his progress.

160 all out

Indeed. If he continues to progress as he is doing batting wise, he could potentially take, say, Collingwood's spot as a batsman, with his spin bowling a very valuable added bonus! Given how well he fields, plus the fact that Swann's had such a good year (and could potentially be the match winner in Australia's 2nd innings), injuries apart this could spell the end for Monty. Mind you, if England do go on to win this match, Monty's efforts in helping secure a draw in Cardiff will prove vital - not a bad way to bow out if that is indeed the case.

With Bresnan & Rashid both in England's one day squad to face the Aussies, Yorks will have to find someone else to take the wickets & score the runs to ensure 1st division survival.
Rafiq & Wainwright to do the spinners job maybe.
Hoggard to come to the fore again?

At the risk of sounding really girlie, cos I dont like cricket but that Flintoff is quite fit, who is winning??

I think you will find Flintoff is not fit hes still got a knee injury

Sometimes it doesn't matter.
