| I still feel the same way, especially bearing in mind how important Harmison would have to be to our chances in those conditions and how messed up he seems to be at the moment.
As with so many of our previous Ashes disasters over there, a lot will depend on the 1st day, a hell of a lot. If we lose the toss and they finish the day 350 for 2 or we win it, bat and then get skittled out before tea for 150, that'll go a long way to telling us what's going down.
If we're to win it, it will need huge efforts from Strauss, Pietersen, Flintoff and Harmison in particular |
