But what about your favorite Harmison, in my opinion the most overrated fast bowler in the world.
Anderson???

England were let down by their batsmen, bowlers and the captaincy. Not that Flintoff isn't trying, he just isn't good enough.
Trescothick being there would have helped. No real word on how he is getting on.
Who needs the cut:
Anderson first and foremost
Giles
Harmison
Jones
In for them
Monty
Plunkett
Mahmood

Needs to happen. Even though Mahmood has been poor, he is a little better in tests. He is a much better test bowler then Anderson from what I have seen. Harmison has had 2 games and he is poor. His overall record is average. He needs the cut.
Whilst the batting in the second innings was poor, the first innings saves the batsmen.

angryangy said:Going to Perth, I don't think England want to drop Giles for a sloppy pace bowler. Granted Giles hasn't been effective, he might get something out of the dry and turning wicket, whereas the second tier pace options will just be targets and let's face it, Harmison and Anderson haven't been better than Giles. Bring Panesar in, but at the expense of the most useless bowler.
