@neilus WIth Zaheer and Ghambir back I think they are likely to be a lot stronger in the next test. They are still missing Sehwag though.

May I recommend the book 'The Ashes, 1945-2005, A Complete Record' by Tony Wagtar.
In 1974 I was ten years old and went to watch Somerset v Leicestershire, Sunday League match at Westlands in Yeovil. I met a school mate there called Graeme and I asked "why you here"? and he said my brother is 12th man for Somerset, and he took me to meet him. That 12th man was the great Ian Botham before he took cricket by storm, still remains something I will never forget. Ian Botham a legend not just for his cricketing exploits but his charity work also. One of life's truly great humans.

Possibly the greatest spell of bowling ever. Few can compare to Botham.
