Harmison talks about his homesickness.

Oh, god, if there ever was any ammo to aim at this bloke, its this. Glenn is getting stuck into him and i dare say the aussies will have a word to steve about it.

Steve is a very good bowler and will give us hell but this is just too much. :D

10-15 wickets for Harmison but only 5 in the last couple of tests. Not because of homesickness but because he is shite away from his home decks. The only thing Harmo will be sick for is warm beer and a wicket that has bounce. The WACA is becoming a road and Australian wickets are becoming more spin friendly all the time. Brisbane will be Harmison's best chance to get the Aussies jumping. I'd start this series off in Sydney, play Warne and Magill and be one up early.

But we were 1-nil up in England last year and look at what the result was.

Yeah, they played well above themselves and we played well below ourselves and the difference was 2 runs. We will smash the Poms this summer.

My point was 'why give these blokes a free kick by starting the series on the pitch with the most swing and maybe this season bounce?? We did the same 5hit in the 80's by playing the first test against the Windies in Perth.

REB our record at the Gabba is sensational.

MIGHTY EAGLES we were 1 nil up and PUNTing won the toss and the
birdbrain put the Poms in....didnt the sides batting first win lots of tests ?

Yeah I know mal but the Gabba would suit the English attack more than Sydney would in my book. Imagine the pressure on Monty when his first test of the series is in Sydney? Now he gets to ease himself into the series. Monty will be a major threat this summer because he actually tries to take wickets. He could really be in the zone by the time the Ashes gets to the SCG.
