Merry Christmas to all

[Sweder]

Pollock and de Villiers look well set, although I fancy our chances with the new ball. Harmison is off form; if he comes back in the New Years test this could be horribly one-sided. We'll need Jones and Flintoff to step up, although to be fair most key wickets this innings have fallen to rank deliveries.

The main purpose of my post, however, is to let you know that I'm still off training waiting for my chest to clear.
