Criticisms

I realised today that I forgot all about Steve Harmison in my haste to write about most of the other members of England's 'attack'. Of course, most of the criticisms of Anderson and Giles apply to Harmison, although my instinct at the moment is just to err on the side of leniency because of what we know he's capable of. He needs some wickets at Perth, though.

Tim de Lisle, with a bit more time at his disposal (I don't know whether he has a day job like me, but I have my doubts), has analysed the issues involved in the selection of the England team for Perth very well here.
