Do you think Harmison should have been included given Broad's inexperience and ineffectiveness against bigger teams - averaging 67 vs India, 49 vs South Africa and 95 vs Sri Lanka - and on the back of Harmison's performances against Australia for the Lions?
1st Innings : 25-3-80-4 including the wickets of Hughes, Katich, Hussey and Lee
2nd Innings : 17-3-55-2 including the wickets of Hughes and Ponting.
That said his bowling average against the aussies is 44.94 although it is decent at home
AUS vs ENG 02/03 : 9 wkts @ 50.56
ENG vs AUS 2005 : 17 wkts @ 32.29
AUS vs ENG 06/07 : 10 wkts @ 61.40
Have England opted for the "safer" option of Broad who is younger and can bat?
