so therefore you would be prepared to call Onions, a bowler with 4 tests to his name a better bowler than Flintoff?

Yes, well with a name like "Sidebottom", I'd expect him to be a bit of a swinger.

I'd say he has the potential to be better than Flintoff. He's certainly taken more wickets in this series, hasn't he?

he's had no centuries in the last 4 years. He has not been a true all rounder for years

one more but Flintoff's been carrying an injury. I can't believe you do not think Flintoff is England's best bowler! He has been for about 6 years now. Where have you been all these years?

Just to put my tuppence in, I'd agree that Flintoff isn't really an allrounder, Strauss might get slated for batting but ponting would of done the same....but england have batted terribly, there is a bit in the pitch for the bowler but whoever came up with england should declare now....ummmm not sure about that one, that has probably been unheard of..

don't suppose there is any need to declare

9 for 102.

That's the equal sixth-lowest total at Headingley in Tests!

Aussies to get 450 then declare

Is this bloody cricket still going on - i thought it was finished like yonks ago

Dont worry this match will soon be over

Well our swing bowlers certainly are making the most of the brilliant swinging conditions of this Headingly pitch and ripping that Aussie batting lineup apart! Strauss you fool!

Nothing to do with us just batting badly and Aus bowling a good line and length

Quite a good start to Australia's first innings. I'm beginning to enjoy this.
